That is not a solution as:

 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f574e1defdb537bdd741edd2523563aa0b03be5a

was done for a good reason.

 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67527#c59 ff.

that to the best of our knowledge, people either:
- dont have libreoffice-gnome and friends installed, which you should if you use gvfs
- or they are suffering from a glib bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1214352
  which is in a header file, thus would require a full rebuild of all rdepends
  of glib and so would be very hard to fix properly on a stable release.

Best, Bjoern
