           Summary: Can't cancel image retrieval in Evolution
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 12.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1

It doesn't seem to be possible to cancel the retrieval of an image when a
message is being displayed.  If, for whatever reason, an image retrieval takes
a very long time, It's not possible switch to another message.  Clicking on the
little red "cancel" button in the status bar changes the status to say it's
being canceled, but the canceling process never finishes.  Exiting from
Evolution doesn't work, either.  I have to use "evolution --force-shutdown" to
cause Evolution to exit.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Unfortunately, this is hard to reproduce on demand.  You need a message that
includes an image that's stored on a server that's very slow or never completes
the transfer.  (I've found that Radio Shack ads are often culprits.)  Once you
find one, then click on the red cancel button in the status bar.
Actual Results:  
Evolution hangs waiting for an image retrieval to complete (or cancel).

Expected Results:  
The image retrieval should time out within a reasonable period of time, and
canceling it should occur immediately.  Exiting from Evolution should never
hang.
