The problem is that there is at least one distribution out there that
ships by default a system where gethostname is not working.

I'm not sure why we need that function anyway. as far as I know
does klauncher work via DCOP, so all it needs to know is where to find
the dcopserver and nothing more.

So the best solution would be removing the need for it.
