gnome-vfs wedges mdb. I think it's seteuid's fault:

Process @3 stopped at #0: 0xffffe410.
0xffffe410      pop    %ebp
(mdb) where
(*) #0: 0xffffe410
    #1: 0x4039bc85 in seteuid+0x75
    #2: 0x41565d85 in _gnome_vfs_get_daemon_force_probe_callback+0x365
    #3: 0x41565f5e in gnome_vfs_method_get+0x1e
    #4: 0x4157841c in gnome_vfs_uri_new_private+0xac
    #5: 0x4157948a in gnome_vfs_url_show+0x6a
    #6: 0x4157a41b in gnome_vfs_make_uri_canonical+0x27b
    ...

(The call to seteuid is not actually in
_gnome_vfs_get_daemon_force_probe_callback, it's in the static
gnome_vfs_add_module_to_hash_table underneath it.)

I think gdb hacks around this by skipping over calls to setxid that
won't actually have any effect. (Eg, in this case, gnome-vfs is just
trying to drop setuid/setgid privileges, but it doesn't actually
have them, so it doesn't matter.)

oops, sorry. happens with anything that uses the file chooser.
eg, in stetic, do File -> Import Glade File, and it wedges
