Title: Upgrade to GLIB 2.28
Author: The Gentoo Freedesktop Maintainers <freedesktop-bugs@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2011-04-27
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: <dev-libs/glib-2.28
The method for setting default applications for specific URI types
(https://, mailto://, etc.) changed in dev-libs/glib-2.28 and newer.
If you previously set them in GConf using the Configuration Editor,
they will now be ignored.
If you use GNOME, you must upgrade gnome-session and
gnome-control-center and set your default browser/mail-client again.
If you don't use GNOME, you should ensure that the file
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list has the following content:
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/http=$browser_name.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=$browser_name.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/mailto=$mailclient_name.desktop;
Replace $browser_name.desktop and $mailclient_name.desktop with the
appropriate file from /usr/share/applications that can handle
http/https/mailto URIs.
The system-wide version of the file is often at
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list instead.
Please make sure that your browsers and mail clients have been upgraded
to the latest stable versions before doing all this.
More information about using defaults.list and mimeapps.list is at:
