proxy / libproxy crashes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Every once in a while libproxy (or the proxy helper?) is crashing in
various ways.

Due to it's randomness I did not yet manage to get a trace or anything
useful (only some stats):

for (( b=0;b<10;b++ )); do
 a=0
 while (proxy http://www.google.com > /dev/null); do
 true $((a++))
 done
 echo $a
 done

Results in the output:

If you get rid of the xhasclient() code in kde/gnome this problem will 
disappear.  I
know we can detect KDE from an envvar.  How can we detect if gnome is running?

First tests with svn rev 626 looks good: passed > 1000 cycles with the above 
loop
without a crash.

I'm marking this as fixed since I'm 99.9% sure that this is fixed.  If not, 
reopen.

• Changed state: Fixed

I would agree: I had the loop running all night long (counter went to 213328)
