-Subject: [PATCH] Fix crash when network online status changes
-
-From Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857348 :
-"liferea frequently crashes when manipulating htmlviews (opening/closing
-new tabs) while the network online status changes. This is caused
-because the signal notifying online status is not properly disconnected
-when the htmlview is removed."
