Hi,
I've seen bug 493565 - "fuse mounts may hang on xattr retrieval causing numerous problems" on multiple systems. Probably the most common symptom of this bug is Nautilus showing an empty Home folder because it's trying to read ~/.gvfs, which blocks. Would this one qualify as a common bug? Some people on Linux forums seem to be able to temporarily fix the problem just by rebooting, I've always had to do an fsck.

rule of thumb: if it's more than a trivial issue, more than a couple of people experience it, and the workaround isn't stunningly obvious, then yes, it would be valuable to have it on common bugs page. so, yes, please add this! thanks.
