I do get the same error as you in my logs.

The bug you linked is rather old and indeed, wikipedia says:
"With the release of GNOME 2.22 in April 2008, GnomeVFS was declared
deprecated in favor of GVfs and GIO, requesting that developers do not
use it in new applications."

More on GVfs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVfs

What I great idea to give the almost same name to two different
frameworks ... :/

So, are you planning to upgrade gcmd to use the newer GVfs?

Best,
Thomas
