Description Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2008-07-24 12:20:21 UTC 
after loggin into my session I have 170 entries of
"glibtop: statvfs '/var/lib/gdm/.gvfs' failed"
in my .xsession-errors

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534284 for explanation of why it can't be accessed.

As a minor iitpick the error uses "glibtop" instead of "libgtop" 
> grep "glibtop" /usr/lib/libgtop-2.0.so
Binary file /usr/lib/libgtop-2.0.so matches

Furthermore I wonder why it tries to access that so desperately.
Comment 1 Benoît Dejean 2008-07-24 12:50:14 UTC 
yes, the library filename is libgtop but the API names all start with glibtop_.
.gvfs is a PITA, it doesn't follow the Unix semantic of filesystem and virtual filesystem (cheats on size, blocksize, etc).

Are you running multiload applet ?
Comment 2 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2008-07-24 13:27:45 UTC 
Yes I do.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2009-01-02 16:34:05 UTC 
Isn't this fixed now?
Comment 4 Benoît Dejean 2009-01-12 21:24:40 UTC 
was never a libgtop bug but rather gvfs'.
waiting for confirmation with up to date gvfs
Comment 5 Robert Roth 2013-12-08 21:15:52 UTC 
As there has been no confirmation in the last almost 5 years with an up-to-date gvfs that this bug still exists, I am closing this as obsolete. Feel free to reopen if you manage to reproduce it, and please attach the steps to reproduce.
