We have a similar problem. gvfsd consumes a LOT of memory when gnome- system-monitor is running in KDE. I am running Kubuntu 9.10. uname-a: Linux michiel-desktop 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux. The amount of consumed memory remains the same even after gnome-system-monitor is killed. Once gnome- system -monitor is restarted, gvfsd leaks memory at roughly 300kb/s, which is equivalent to roughly a GB per hour.
I would like to run valgrind on this process, however, gvfsd seems to be restarted automatically every time I kill it, preventing me to run valgrind on the particular instance that does the leaking. Do you have any tips?
