[Solved] Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.Daemon

Upon starting the xfce4 on Ubuntu 13.10, I always get the following message in the log:

Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.vfs.Daemon: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)

(xfsettingsd:10814): GVFS_CRITICAL **: fill_mountable_info: assertion 'proxy != NULL` failed

It appears about 20 seconds after the login and it also appeared on the previous version 13.04. It's a minor issue, but it's sometimes irritating because it sometimes hangs the logout, for example if I have logged in as the wrong user.

Here is the output of the ps -ef | grep gvfs command:

10821     1  0 08:37 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd

10914     1  0 08:37 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor

How can this be solved?

Do you have overlay scrollbars activated? If yes, take a look at this bug report:

Yes, that's true! I just tried this on a new system and the very same thing happened after I tried to start xfce with the overlay scrollbar module. Thank you for your reply!
