[Qgis-developer] Socket server freezes on Python plugin

[G. Allegri]

I've tried it.
I seems it depends on QGis not giving the plugin thread the option to serve
while IDLE waiting for user interaction.
The plugin server unfreezes even if you simply move the mouse over QGis
(wihtout doing any action on it).
It must be investigated...
