           Summary: [GTK] [PATCH] plugin loading invalid symlink
                    evaluation deadlock

          Priority: P2

PluginPackageGtk.cpp:PluginPackage::load() evaluates symlinks in a way that never worked: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627491

Attached patch fixes deadlock that happens if the plugin symlink points to ../something.

For example:

In openSUSE 11.3, plugindir is /usr/lib64/browser-plugins. opensc-signer.so is a link to ../opensc-signer.so. The result of current symlink resolving is /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/opensc-signer.so. Dead loop happens.
