  The setting is:

  - the user joeuser has a home directory which is mounted via NFS Version 4
  - the NFS4 mount uses Kerberos (-o sec=krb5) for authentication, which is the only non-default mount option
  - the user uses either Nautilus or Thunar as a graphical file manager
  - the user moves a small number of files to trash using either Thunar or Nautilus, after at most 20 times (independent on uptime or login time) the bug emerges: when the user moves file ~/foobar_21 to trash the operation takes a very long time (30 secs and longer)
  - during the wait we have observerd that nautious/thunar and other applications freeze or will not start
  -- top, as joeuser, will not start until the file ~/foobar_21 has been moved to trash
  -- cat ~/myfile.txt does not work until the file has been moved to trash
  -- the Thunar and Nautilus windows are not redrawn
  - ls does work and we can see that the original file ~/foobar_21 is deleted shortly before the end of the wait time

  The file managers Dolphin and Xfe work as expected taking well under a second to trash files.
  Other file managers have not been tested.
