Can we please backport this patch to natty? The patch is likely to apply
cleanly to the gnome 2.x codebase as well.

Title:
  gnome-user-share fails to discover a port for webdav server

Status in gnome-user-share:
  New
Status in “gnome-user-share” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  gnome-user-share (as of 3.0.0, as seen in Oneiric beta) tries to
  discover a free port to run Apache on by bind()ing a struct
  sockaddr_in with no port specified in src/http.c:get_port(). However,
  it neglects to specify an address family, so that attempt fails with
  EINVAL, and the -1 returned gets passed to spawn_httpd() as the port
  that Apache should be listening on, which causes to Apache promptly
  and silently bail. I've attached a debdiff that contains a patch
  fixing this by specifying AF_INET as the address family.
