This is how Unix systems are supposed to behave. The ~lightdm/.gvfs
filesystem is a private FUSE-mounted filesystem that belongs to the
lightdm user, so a normal user shouldn't be able to access it. The same
thing would happen if you had a GVFS filesystem open as yourself and
another user (who was were logged in to the machine via ssh of via the
switch-user feature) ran df -h.
I certainly see why this text being dumped to stderr on a common command
like df -h feels like an error, though.
This behavior runs deep into the design of the Linux (and all Unix)
kernel, but I'd be interested in any ideas you have about how to modify
the behavior to be more suitable.
