Bug#498732: iceape-browser: Iceape leaks X connections

[Mikko Rasa]

Package: iceape-browser
Version: 1.1.11-1
Severity: normal

Iceape acquires new X connections over time but does not close them properly.
Over time (on the order of days or weeks) this eventually leads to getting an
error "Maximum number of clients reached" when trying to start any X
application.

These connections show up in xrestop as:

1a00000     0    1    0    0    0        0B     24B     24B   ?   <unknown>

And in ss -funix -p as:

u_str  ESTAB      0      0        * 646330      * 0       users:(("iceape-bin",21085,274))

I have so far not figured out what part exactly causes this, but it does not
seem to be Flash or website icons at least.  The site http://www.finnkino.fi/
causes four leaked connections every time it is loaded.
