Comment 7 for bug 58171

The same bug sometimes happens to me at unpredictable moments.
When it does, most of the programs I try to launch hang in the same way.
Running a strace on them show exactly the same problem ; reading from a socket times out after ages:

olivier@sanctuary:~$ strace gnome-terminal

execve("/usr/bin/gnome-terminal", ["gnome-terminal"], [/* 34 vars */]) = 0

[...]

connect(10, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.ICE-unix/9600"}, 21) = 0
fcntl64(10, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
write(10, "\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
read(10,

...hanged.
