Title:
  gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free()

Status in GVFS:
  Fix Released
Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gvfs source package in Saucy:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Trying to get this backported so attempting to follow the SRU
  Procedure as outlined here:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

  [Impact]

   * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users

  This bug stops users of Abiword in Xubuntu copy and pasting pictures
  from Firefox. Maybe other sources too? Text pastes fine. Libreoffice
  is unaffected.

   * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.

  Copy and pasting pictures is surely a very basic feature of any word
  processor and Abiword is bundled as the default in Xubuntu.
  Additionally I have detected this bug on multiple versions of Xubuntu
  (13.10 64-bit, 13.10 32-bit and a 12.04 ?-bit - 100% of the machines I
  have tested it on).

   * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
     explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.

  No idea

  [Test Case]

   * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug

   * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
     package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes
     the problem.

  Simply open Abiword on a Xubuntu machine, find an image from Google
  images on Firefox and copy and paste by any method into the document.
  It has on occasion successfully pasted the image although most of the
  time it seems to fail. I do not know what factors cause fail/success.

  [Regression Potential]

  I am unable to comment on this personally.
