gnome-vfs usage of GConf vs threads

[Alexander Larsson <alexl redhat com>]

The http method in gnome-vfs uses GConf to read proxy settings and some 
other stuff. I think this may cause problems. These calls are gonna be 
made from the gnome-vfs worker threads, and neither GConf nor ORBit2 are 
threadsafe. This could cause random bugs and crashes.

Any idea what to do about this?

If we instantiate a separate GConfClient and lock about its usage, will at 
least the gconf part be threadsafe?
