Bug#600767: gnome-system-monitor: Insanely high cpu/dbus usage

[Ben Wong]

Ah, I had been noticing some annoying, but I thought harmless, .gvfs
mounts showing up after the last dist-upgrade.  I'll do some testing
and get back to you.  It seems like this might be two bugs: one with
gvfs creating weird mounts and the other in gnome-system-monitor which
shouldn't break no matter what gvfs does.
