environment is KDE. The directory /org/gtk/exec_spaw does not

This means that an application using GObject (either a C program, or
a program written using GObject instrospection bindings) used the
GIO library to connect to a Web server using the GVFS filesystem
wrappers at some point.<br>
<br>
The address at the end of the command are, IIRC, D-Bus addresses.<br>
<br>
Depending on the configuration of your system, you'll be able to
find the directory in ~/.gvfs or in /run/user/${UID}/gvfs, which is
where the GVFS modules house their virtual filesystem so as to allow
common UNIX utilities (e.g., cp, cat, mv, ls, rm, and so forth) to
work with those filesystems, even though they're not filesystems
which are implemented by the operating system or managed by e.g.,
mount/umount.<br>
