Hi Hugues - here's a suggestion - first of all, don't listen to anyone who perceives a solo RTW trip is inherently dangerous, plenty of people have done it before you and lived to tell the tale ;o)
However, I agree there is often a benefit in travelling with a companion, and all the joy of shared experience which you don't get alone.
My suggestion would be rather than look for someone/s to commit to a whole RTW trip (a huge undertaking for most people) - consider breaking the itineary down into more defined date/distance sections and asking people to join you for specific legs of the trip - be that someone with local knowledge of the country (who can help you see things you might otherwise miss), or someone also keep to explore a certain part of the world, but cannot commit to the whole end-to-end/year-long trip in it's entirety?
I think that would make an interesting story/addition to your trip in itself - hope that is something to consider...
