System Monitor display reports user unfriendly information about file system daemon

[Patrick Kilgore]

The gnome system monitor in 8.04 reports a drive gcfs-daemon as a filesystem on the computer. This will be confusing to most 'human beings' and really doesn't provide any useful or additional information.

Expected behavior: Report information about /sda1 only.
Observed behavior: Information reported about gvfs daemon for same drive.
How to reproduce on my pc: System Monitor->File Systems Tab
