Comment 3 for bug 573676

The crash should happen on all non local filesystems.

This is introduced by the backup file on save patch, which in turn solved the lost all my passwords on full disk problem.

i have an idea on how to fix it but due to gnomevfs' lack of rename it introduces a couple of different problems i need to wrap my head around.
