I am unable to perform many functions, so my system is now unusable as is.
It would seem logical that using a -i parameter would reverse it. That is what is stated in the documentation I can find on the chattr command for e2fsprogs: But when try I, what I get is:
" # chattr -i .gvfs
chattr: Permission denied while trying to stat .gvfs"
chmod has no effect, nor does rm or rmdir even for root. Any advise?

The hidden folder .gvfs has attributes dr-x------. Change them to drwx------ the try again. I don't use chattr because it's dangerous if you don't fully understand it (and I don't). Maybe chattr has already made it impossible to chmod as a normal user. [Try chmod and rm as root of course].
