Update re:
gvfsd-smb-browse
gvfsd-network
gvfs/gvfsd-dnssd
I think I managed to get these running under gdb (they certainly produce
debugging output when I do things in Nautilus). However the segfault
doesn't appear (i.e. return control to gdb) under any of them.

So far I haven't managed to capture "pstree -p" containing a "pool" with
PID that later matches the PID in the segfault. If I could, at least I'd
know what created it.
