Hi,
I tried a quick testing program but it does not seems to work... Here it
finds the uri scheme "http" but g_app_info_get_default_for_uri_scheme()
returns NULL.
I attached my test program, could you please tell me what's wrong? If I get
it working I'll make a patch to introduce g_file_get_default_handler().
Thanks,
Xavier Claessens.
