Bug#546398: gvfs-backends: gphoto2 backend broken if two users logged in through switch-user

Package: gvfs-backends
Version: 1.2.2-2
Severity: normal


If 2 users are logged in, using gnome switch-user from the screen saver, 2
copies of /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor are running.  When I plug
in a camera, both try to spawn a gphoto2, which get confused because one can't
grab a lock.  Neither works correctly at that point, and a confusing error is
presented to the user.
