devel/tevent: upgrade from 0.9.28 -> 0.9.31 causes gvfs-mount fail for smb shares, affects also x11-fm/thunar, x11-fm/pcmanfm, x11-fm/nautilus, x11-fm/caja

Good morning,

in early February I had experienced a particular issue related to gvfsusing
pkgs from my custom pkg repository (closely tracks head).

Some day, x11-fm/thunar and x11-fm/pcmanfm were no longer able to access
Samba shares.

I did reproduce the issue in an isolated environment (a VM with
only FreeBSD base + dbus and gvfs pkgs installed) and was 
able to reproduce the issue on the command line.

	# kldload fuse
	# chmod a+rw /dev/fuse
	# service dbus onestart
	
With tevent 0.9.28:

	% dbus-launch csh
	% gvfs-mount smb://WORKGROUP\;mpeterma@proliant/public
	% gvfs-mount -l	
	Mount(0): public on proliant -> smb://WORKGROUP;mpeterma@proliant/public/
	  Type: GDaemonMount
	(Ok, expected good behavior)
	  
With tevent 0.9.31:

	% dbus-launch csh
	% gvfs-mount smb://WORKGROUP\;mpeterma@proliant/public
	(waiting forever..., unexpected bad behavior)

With this findings I submitted a bug report[1], currently still in New
state with
no public visible progress. I am wondering what I could do. Since keeping
the 0.9.31 version in ports will make it part of the next quarterly
release, I
fear a majority of users will recognize the problem then.


Best regards,
Matthias
