When the smb connection has died, gvfsd-smb doesn't appear to die along with it, nor restablish a connection. This results in 20 second hangs when selecting that share in nautilus, or when doing most operations in the root of a gvfs-fuse mount.

As soon as the network share is unavailable thereafter, the whole gnome desktop freezes for about 30' from time to time. Until the user logs out or the gfs-mount is unmounted manually (which in case can't be done until the freeze period is over). It would be nice if the gvfs-unmount would happen automatically after some timeout witout traffic and/or when all network interfaces (LAN/WLAN) are down.
