Bug Description
When running find in a particular way there is an error reading the ~/.gvfs directory and find bombs.
sudo find / -name '.*something.*'
produces:
find: /home/myboxoftr
The problem:
* doesn't happen without the sudo
* doesn't happen without the -name
* doesn't happen when ~/.gvfs isn't on the search path
so basically when .gvfs in on the search path, and you use sudo and the name switch, find bombs.
Same problem is being reported with other distros. It seems to be a Gnome glitch.
Not good that root's file access is denied.

thank you for your bug report, what directories do you have in .gvfs? what user do you use to run the find command? could you describe how to trigger the issue and maybe open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org directly since you say that's not an ubuntu issue
