Bug#731819: iceweasel: IceWeasel may fail to connect to networked $DISPLAY, X_ShmAttach: BadAccess

[Misha Strong]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 17.0.9esr-1~deb7u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation? I run IceWeasel on a 32-bit QEMU machine, for plugins to work.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)? I changed DISPLAY to 10.0.2.2:1 
   * What was the outcome of this action? but this cause IceWeasel to crash on startup (sometimes.)
   * What outcome did you expect instead? IceWeasel works most of the time, but often it fails to load.

Please note that I am running IceWeasel from my .bashrc, and that /etc/inittab is configured for auto-login.

I do not run X11 on the QEMU machine. My X11 runs on Debian stable 64-bit.
