Comment:

 Hmm. Actually, the apps do come back after an operation request is left
 unanswered - after a timeout of 30s. However, most apps immediately hang
 themselves again, because they issue the next request which again has to
 timeout. I am not sure what we can do about this. Of course, we could
 lower the timeout to a few seconds. This would make things a little bit
 more useful for some people. However, in r1336 we increased that timeout
 from 10s to 30s because some people with very slow machines wanted those
 larger timeout. We cannot make both sides happy.

 I acknowledge we have a problem here. But I see not clean fix for this.
 Thus I will set this report to "wontfix".
