I just realised this bug with gvfs, as randolf just pointed out, could
very well be directly related to the problem I have been experiencing
since 12.10 with LibreOffice hanging randomly sometimes opening and
somtimes saving files opened from a samba share mounted with Nautilus
sometimes causing data loss. Sometimes I have had to reboot to recover
from a hung Libreoffice session when saving to a samba share and retype
entries into my spreadsheed on local disk and then copy it up to the
samba share.

As a work around for now I am using Smb4K to get my Windows shares
mapped so I shall test my theory out. If this is right, and from the
sounds of it this bug affects several packages related to music and
office (not just nautilus), you are quite right Romano to get this risen
to critical status.

I sincerely respect everyone's effort in testing and hopefully fixing
this bug.
