webactivity as picture viewer refused to stop on os851

Browse-108 on os851 on XO-1

Opened picture from the journal, WebActivity opened it as normal, but refused to stop -- no errors, the activity just refused to go away no matter how many times stop was clicked.

Opening the picture a second time in the same session caused another instance to open which closed correctly. The first instance still wouldn't close.

There are some failed assertions related to shutting down, see attached WebActivity-nostop.log file.

I restarted and could not reproduce. The log contains similar assertions and an exception(!) on shutdown. See WebActivity-stopped.log

webactivity opened a picture and refused to stop

webactivity opened a picture and had an exception during shutdown (shutdown appears to have worked)

Assigning to sugar-toolkit because the exceptions all happen there. Seems to be shutdown / garbage collection related.
Not sure if there's a causal relation between the exceptions and the hang. The next time this happens, please attach first strace and later gdb to the process to see it's doing.
