John Paul Adrian Glaubitz (glaubitz) what use do I have that this bug might have been fixed around gvfs_1.22 when the Ubuntu 14.04.1 that I currently use uses gvfs (1.20.3-0ubuntu1) released 2015-02-02 and this bug is still present in it?!

For those that need a temporary fix for this bug, use the

sudo chmod -x /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata (makes gvfs-metadata non executable)

command, but be warned, after doing this nautilus tends to forget some settings and tweaks. For instance, on my computer, the desktop icons ( I have "show desktop icons" enabled) tend to be moved on the left side of the screen (in random order) on each system restart (this will definitely happen if you erased the file(s) in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata).

The "fix" can be reversed with

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-metadata (makes gvfs-metadata executable again).
