Bug Description
Binary package hint: gvfs-backends
netstat -tp reveals lots of the old connections made by gvfsd-http, and some of them are several days old. this seams like a resource leak. not very harmful for typical user, but the intense use of gvfsd could even block the user from making any new internet connections until the daemon is restarted.
steps to reproduce:
1. use drag&drop to copy a picture from a web browser to the gnome desktop (this uses gvfs internally).
interestingly, copying a content from clickable link did not leave a stale socket (i don't know if this is a rule. "open image in a new tab" and dragging from there was the most reliable way to reproduce the bug)
2. invoke netstat -tp in the console
the socket opened by gvfsd-http wont go away
workaround:
kill the daemon (using killall gvfsd-http) or log out
