openSUSE 11.1 (i586)
VERSION = 11.1

My regular desktop is KDE 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4) "release 2" and that's what
I was using in all my previous reports on this problem (in addition, I
use the gtk-qt engine from the rpm kcm_gtk-1.1-5.5).  This morning I
logged on to Gnome after booting the machine and ran my test case, and
here too I got the ~30s pause (actually closer to 27-8 seconds).  Then I
logged out of Gnome, logged on to KDE, ran my test case, and did not get
the pause.  Then I restarted the X server, logged on to KDE again, ran
my test case and still got no pause.  So I conclude that the pause only
happens with the first Emacs started after booting the machine.  (But I
have not yet tried my test case with -nw.)

Gnome both before and after starting Emacs (here with the pause):

KDE both before and after starting Emacs:
steve@escher:~> ps -ef --cols 100 | grep gvfs | grep -v grep
steve     5747     1  0 09:10 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd

The directory  /home/steve/.gvfs is empty.

Thanks.
