Bug#564105: tends to hang forever at "reading archive" stage on tar file when run from w3m

[Joey Hess]

Package: file-roller
Version: 2.28.2-1
Severity: normal

This program registers a mime entry so w3m uses it by default to open
tarballs. When run by w3m, it seems to hang forever at the
"Reading archive" stage.

Reproduce:

* w3m http://bugs.debian.org/376329
* Select the testcase.tgz file
* File-roller starts, shows:

     Reading archive

     Archive: w3mtmp11795-0.tgz
     Reading archive, wait please...

  Bouncing progress bar forever; no disk activity, little CPU activity.

11808 pts/11   S      0:05 /usr/bin/file-roller /home/joey/.w3m/w3mtmp11795-0.tgz
joey at gnu:~/.w3m>ls -l /home/joey/.w3m/w3mtmp11795-0.tgz
ls: cannot access /home/joey/.w3m/w3mtmp11795-0.tgz: No such file or directory

AFAICS, file-roller does not have the (deleted) file open. I suspect w3m
deletes its temp files when the program it has run to view it exits, and
file-roller forks off to the background before opening the file.
