I can finally confirm that the patch from gnome bug 695925 above
actually fixes the problem with Ubuntu 12.04.4 and LO 4.2.4 from the
PPA. I have applied the patch to the glib source package and rebuilt and
installed it, and then rebuilt libreoffice, gtk+3.0, dbus-glib and gvfs
against the patched glib.

This now finally seems to work.

Unfortunately, this whole rebuilding is a PITA and takes a long time,
especially for libreoffice. I'm not sure if everything is needed, but
anyway I have a bad feeling with this. Now there are still lots of
packages on my system which were built against the unpatched glib, so I
really think this needs to be fixed in Ubuntu 12.04 with *ALL* packages
which depend on glib being rebuilt against a patched version.

How can we achieve this?
