The dispose() method in libqmi-glib/qmi-proxy.c calls

 g_unlink (QMI_PROXY_SOCKET_PATH)

and we have

 #define QMI_PROXY_SOCKET_PATH "qmi-proxy"

so I guess the behaviour is expected if you run qmi-proxy from the
directory where the binary is located.

But it doesn't really make sense.  The socket name is "\0qmi-proxy"
AFAIK. So what exactly is this trying to unlink?
