Removing gvfs
It is possible (at least on my systems) to remove gvfs. Why do this? Well it doesn’t do anything useful for me, and it does leave processes lying around after logout. One time it even held open files on a USB drive, which is a real pest when you want to remove it.
Getting rid of gvfs turned out to be really easy. Nothing I use depends on it, although there are some optional dependencies. Nothing I’ve been used to has stopped working, either.
Now if I can get rid of those other non-dying processes…
