Bug description:
  SRU form for Oneiric

  [Impact]
  This bug prevents anyone from browsing their phone over bluetooth in Oneiric. This is a regression because people were able to browse their phones in Natty and earlier.

  [Development Fix]
  Build libgvfsdaemon as a static rather than shared library.

  [Stable Fix]
  Same as development fix.

  [Test Case]
  Use Gvfs-mount to mount the phone:

  $ gvfs-mount obex://[B8:F9:34:44:B4:10]
  Error mounting location: Connection refused

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal. The fix is the same as Precise, and has been extensively tested there. It has also gone through testing on Oneiric through the process of finding the bug. Additionally, upstream has always statically linked libgvfsdaemon, and we have not seen bug reports there or in other distros for that. Natty and earlier versions of Ubuntu have statically linked libgvfsdaemon and work fine.

  
  [Original bug report]

  Action "browse file on devices" from bluetooth gnome applet is not working since upgrade to Oneiric
  Using same hardware configuration (PC + cell phone), it was working fine in natty.

  after correct pairing of devices (same hardware). The cell phone I
  connect to is obex capable. it is a Sony Ericsson W20i.

  $ gvfs-mount obex://[B8:F9:34:44:B4:10]
  Error mounting location: Connection refused
  $ obexfs -b B8:F9:34:44:B4:10 m
  $ ls m
  Phone memory
  $

  so obexfs is ok, but gvfs-backends has a pb.
  After mounting with obexfs, browsing in nautilus is ok.

  From the applet if I just try "Send file to device", I also get a
  "connection refused (111)" message.

  On the phone, the connexion is set as "always allow"
