I think the problem is in gvfs. Building against git master causes just about everything to abort with this error. Uninstalling it and falling back to F-11 gvfs fixes the problem. Reassigning.
Experienced this after upgrading a box from F-11 to Rawhide (gvfs 1.3.3-2); killing active gvfs* processes fix the issue. This bug could probably be closed?
Yeah, this is due to protocol changes in gvfs unstable releases. Easiest way to fix is to log out + in, harder version is to kill all gvfs-* processes and restart all apps that use gvfs.
"Not a bug" is hardly an appropriate response to something that crashes every GUI program when you try to save your work, with a totally unhelpful error message the user most likely won't even see. gvfs should have had a version check and sane fallback behaviour.
