tramp-gvfs uses D-Bus. The message above comes from D-Bus, it is related
to Tramp.

I agree, that it shall be transformed into something understandable by
the user. I will check how I could do it.

However, I also would like to know where it comes from. Which Tramp
method have you used? Did you enable Tramp traces (by setting
tramp-verbose to 8), so I could check them?

Best regards, Michael.
