Description Carlos Robinson 2008-04-20 19:04:26 UTC 
Situation: Gnome desktop, as user, open an xterm, do "su -". Some programs fail:

minas-morgul:/home/cer/Bugzilla # lsof
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/cer/.gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.
... (lsof output folllows)

The problem is this:

minas-morgul:/home/cer/Bugzilla # l /home/cer/.gvfs
ls: cannot access /home/cer/.gvfs: Permission denied

And I'm root! 

I have no idea what the directory is for, but something created it.

Look:

cer@minas-morgul:~> mount | grep .gvfs
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/cer/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=cer)

Are you sure this is a duplicate of bug 368628?

I'm reporting that root is denied access to that directory of the user it made "su -" from (making some programs fail), not that it crashes. This is different.
