Lucas,

Yesterday I could learn that glib uses a configuration parameter for
instructing gio of alternate directories where to look for modules to
load so with your installation planned you can tell glib beforehand
where to look.

In my case glib-2.22.4 was configured with --with-prefix=/usr
--with-pcre=system --with-gio-module-dir=/opt/gnome/lib/gio/modules
(this is where gvfs installed its modules). First time I built glib I
did not use it and ended with Nautilus unable to handle computer:///,
network:/// and the like. Discussion where I found about glib
parameter also talked about symlinking gvfs gio modules to
/usr/lib/gio/modules (from glib install). I did both, the symlinks and
the rebuild of glib. Nautilus worked fine. I deleted the symlinks and
Nautilus still works fine.

Hope this helps.
