Public bug reported:

System Settings -> Network -> Network proxy
You can set e.g. "localhost", port "9090", assuming you're not running any service on that port.

Now run Banshee, and attempt to use the Online Media->Internet Archive.

Banshee will stop responding to any input, and go into an infinite loop
(on at least two different threads).

It is possible to reproduce situations where Banshee will hang while a
context menu is open.  It is then not possible to switch to a different
application.  An inexperienced user would be forced to hard-reboot the
machine, which could cause data loss.
