I too use Simple Backup, but I'm not sure the problem is as Jan Rybka says. In my case, it's not just background jobs without notices. gvfs- fuse-daemon thinks the root partition is full, and even rebooting doesn't help (so not just a matter of restarting the service). Since the partition is "full", I can't do the simplest operation that wants to store anything to the filesystem, so this is a huge problem!
As far as I can tell, what happened is this: After my last sbackup (the first under Hardy), the 2GB backup file was somehow seen as being on my root partition, even though it's really on a network drive under /mnt. I cannot umount it, even with -f. It says it's not mounted. I tried moving the backup to a different directory on the network drive, so that the backup dir it insisted on seeing was empty. It still showed a 2GB backup in that dir. I tried uninstalling sbackup. gvfs still thinks there's a 2GB file there. I'm running 8.04 with all updates installed on a Sharp MP30 laptop. This is an oldish (2005) slowish computer, and using Gimp for a huge file, plus Firefox with multiple tabs, as I was doing ... :S , can really slow down the system. It hasn't crashed, so I didn't think this was the problem, but who knows. If there's any workaround I can apply before the bug is fixed, please let me know! Delete ~/.gvfs for instance? Anything??
