multiple instances of gvfs-fuse-daemon running

Hello!  I've searched the archives and googled but haven't spotted any
info or solution to this problem.  On slackware 12.1, using fuse-2.7.3
(stable) and gvfs 0.2.5, the gvfs-fuse-daemon can easily have multiple
instances running.  It seems that in every login to the gnome desktop,
another gvfs-fuse-daemon is started up, and it does not quit after
logout, despite the fact that the other spawned daemons (ie, trash and
burn) quit, and the ~/.gvfs is umounted.  A few instances of the
fuse-daemon running can intermittently cause GNOME some troubles when
logging in.  This problem has been mentioned in a few other spots as
well:

Under Ubuntu:

Under FreeBSD:

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
