If 2 users are logged in, using gnome switch-user from the screen saver, 2
copies of /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor are running.  When I plug
in a camera, both try to spawn a gphoto2, which get confused because one can't
grab a lock.  Neither works correctly at that point, and a confusing error is
presented to the user.

Hey Jerry,

Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer version
like 1.12.3-4 or 1.16.3-2 ?

thanks

Confirmed and reproductible here, with debian jessie (gvfs-backends
1.22.2-1 and gphoto2 2.5.4-1+b1 ).

Works fine with one user connected, does not with two users connected. What
kind of information would be useful to diagnose the problem ?

regards,
Julien
