If the avahi-daemon is installed and in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

Fixes the problem

This fixes the crash and should be clean. Confirm and I commit to both HEAD and gnome-2-14 branches.

From my point of view, you can commit.
Don't forget to update the NEWS file however.

Thanks for your excellent work Julien.
