by emerging gnome-base/gvfs from ~arch with USE="udev udisks"

the stable gnome-base/gvfs is not compatible with UDisks 2.1

but by upgrading gnome-base/gvfs on stable to ~arch version with 
USE="udev udisks" is then again not compatible all the way with GNOME 
2.x, so that's why it's still in ~arch
