Applications using libgnomeprint, such as gedit, do not work with CUPS
1.2rc1 at all, but work fine with CUPS 1.1.23.
It seems to be some sort of thread-safety issue. The CUPS_GET_PRINTERS
request works fine (once the _cupsStrFree() issue I reported earlier is
patched), but then the CUPS_GET_PRINTER_ATTRIBUTES requests, which are
issued several at once from different threads, become garbled.
The result is that no CUPS queues are shown in the dialog.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start gedit
2. Control-P
