Could be... been trying to troubleshoot some gvfs issues as well, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgnome-keyring/+bug/530605
and the one that got merged to 530605:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/532024

Note: on that machine I purged winbind & didn't seem to make any
difference. Also, it was working well (with the exception of the gvfs
issues) prior to yesterday's update.

I've got a test machine that I'm updating from 2.6.32-16-generic to see
if I can replicate.
