Title: Upgrade to GLIB 2.28 Author: GNOME Team <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2011-04-26 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <dev-libs/glib-2.28 The way of setting default URI handlers has changed since dev-libs/glib-2.28 and above. If you used the GConf registry to set them before, 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. Please make sure that your browsers and mail clients have been upgraded to the latest stable versions before doing all this.
