This should only happen if there are also multiple gvfsd processes
started up; the GVFS daemon will start up a FUSE daemon when it starts
up itself.

For the FUSE daemon to go away, ~/.gvfs must be unmounted. gvfsd does
this when it shuts down gracefully, but if it gets killed or crashes, it
won't happen, leaving the FUSE daemon around.

Are you seeing any other gvfsd-related processes after logout? Are you
logging out gracefully (i.e. not with ctrl-backspace)?
