Of course, I will try to help in figuring this one out.

Here's some info about my setup:
I've got a bookmarked Samba-share in Nautilus like this:

smb://gandalf/
This share requires password-authentication.

The hostname resolves to 192.168.1.2 (the local IP-adress of the Samba-server on my LAN).

The problem occurs because of a difference in behaviour between this new gvfs-release and the previous: now it immediately connects to the share (I've checked with netstat) upon login, even though I don't actively click the bookmark in Nautilus. When gvfs or Nautilus tries to do this at work (when I log in), it hangs, and causes other desktop components to hang as well, such as the panel, file open dialogs, etc. There's no Samba-server with IP 192.168.1.2 at work.

So, should it be trying to connect/authenticate to Samba-shares that are bookmarked in Nautilus but not opened by the user ? This is doomed to cause problems for roaming users with laptops, like myself, that use different servers, depending on location.
