Bug Description

Bugs like the following have occured before. All previous bugs listed as either invalid or fix released.

SYSTEM:
Version: 1.18.2-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Saucy 13.10

SUMMARY:
Copying large directory across webDAV freezes Thunar (probably others)

REPRODUCE:
(A) In middle of LAN nfs large copy, changing password on destination nfs (obviously not a good idea) freezes Thunar.

(B) In both cases, this is definitively a bug because Thunar has to be force-closed, and then can freeze again when reopened.

NOT A WORKAROUND:
Unfreeze by killing "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-dav --spawner :1.2 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/26" or similar process.

Copying the folders remains impossible. This is a freeze that should not happen, even if the distant end is misbehaving.
