 Loading a WMS-Layer with an authentication request (in my case the WMS-
 service of the Bavarian LVG) QGIS is freezing. The program can only be
 stopped with the task manager.
 This bug appeared with version 1.5 (Windows Stand Alone Version as well as
 OsGeo Installer Version).
 Some further hints:
 QGIS 1.4 connects to the WMS-server and loads the layer without problems.
 The program does not ask me for username and password, because both seem
 to be stored in the configuration file of QGIS.
 Doing the same with QGIS 1.5, the program asks me for username and
 password, even though both is yet stored (entries in the editing dialogue
 of the WMS-connection). After typing in again username and password QGIS
 1.5 connects correctly to the WMS-server and it is possible to choose a
 layer. But loading the layer fails and QGIS freezes.
 It seems, that the program is not able to store the authentication data
 for the next step (that means retrieving the WMS-layer) and therefore
 crashes when trying to download it.
