Comment(by tomeu):

 Seems to be caused by Mozilla initializing libgnome implicitly so it can
 use gnome-vfs to query for icons to display the files.

 We can workaround this issue by initializing lbgnome ourselves in
 webactivity.py:

 {{{
 diff --git a/webactivity.py b/webactivity.py
 index a0ee38f..e163d9c 100644
