We need to patch in the portal support at a high enough
level that GAppInfo is not involved - a sandboxed app may
not be able to see any applications, so it can only launch
the defaults.
Note that even though the API is called launch_default...,
the portal may still offer the user to choose the application
to launch.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
gnome-session needs to know the startup id that was given to
a started app; this was not available via GAppLaunchContext.
This commit adds a ::launched signal to get this information.
At the same time, turn the launch_failed vfunc into a signal
as well.

GFile doesn't handle some "real" URIs, so check if there's a default
handler for the URI scheme first, and only use g_file_new_for_uri()
and g_file_query_default_handler() if not. Eg, this fixes the case of
opening http URIs with "%2F" in the path.

This essentially adds an accessor for the MimeType field in desktop files,
to retrieve the list of all mime types supported by an application.
The interface though is part of GAppInfo, so it could be implemented
in the future by other backends.

Add functions for manipulating the environment under which a
GAppLaunchContext will launch its children, to avoid thread-related
bugs with using setenv() directly.
FIXME: win32 side isn't implemented yet

This commit also changes (maintaining compatibility) the way
user-specified default applications are stored (as in, those for which
g_app_info_set_as_default_for_type() has been called.
We now store the default application for a content type in a new group
in the mimeapps.list keyfile, and "Added Associations" tracks only the
applications that have been added by the user, following a
most-recently-used first order.
This is useful in GtkAppChooser-like widgets to pre-select the last used
application when constructing a widget.

Move all the annotations over from gobject-introspection.
They will not be used directly by the introspection scanner for now,
instead they will be extracted by a script and updated manually
until introspection is properly integrated into the glib build
This adds a GApplication object to GIO, which is the core of
an application support class, supporting
- uniqueness
- exporting actions (simple scripting)
- standard actions (quit, activate)
The implementation for Linux uses D-Bus, takes a name on the
session bus, and exports a org.gtk.Application interface.
Implementations for Win32 and OS X are still missing.
Note: Since we export types with Iface in the name rather than
Interface we have to use some typedefs to make this work. New
interfaces should probably use Interface as the public name.
* gio.symbols:
* gappinfo.[hc]: Add g_app_info_get_commandline. Requested
by Hans Petter Jansson.
* gdesktopappinfo.c: And implement it here.

* gdesktopappinfo.c (expand_macro): If possible, always pass FUSE
file:// URIs (such as '/home/davidz/.gvfs/sftp on foo/file.avi')
instead of the gio URI (such as sftp://foo/file.avi) when using
g_app_info_launch() and friends. With a sufficiently recent gvfs,
apps using gio+gvfs will map the FUSE file:// URI back to the gio
URI (and thus bypass the fuse daemon) thanks the patch from bug
#530654. Since Nautilus is an user of g_app_info_launch() it
means that non-gio POSIX apps, such as mplayer, will Just Work(tm)
when launced via the file manager. Win. Fixes bug #528670.
* gappinfo.c: Add some notes about the FUSE POSIX URI <-> GIO URI
mapping to the description of GAppInfo.
2008-10-01 David Zeuthen <davidz@redhat.com>
* README.in: Add "Notes about glib 2.20" section detailing the
ramifications of the patch from bug #528670.
