The issue is that I usually do local upgrades on a daily basis (or multiple times a day when more significant updates show up) and roll them out if everything looks ok, and for past few weeks I've been doing those mostly remotely, without directly using those configurations after; which was a bad idea, but it sometimes has to happen. Still, there was nothing too much out of ordinary in the first place, with the glib+gtk being probably the most significant on the radar (and even that a minor bump). So when I finally got back to the desktop and noticed the URL symptoms showing up, and then getting the same reports from other users too, it was already too late to point it to a specific port that broke it. But glib/gtk seems to be a good candidate as the time looks to be about right, that's why I was asking if someone else gets the same issues and and/if already knows what's causing it, before I start rolling back ports one by one narrowing it down. I normally wouldn't expect GTK handling stuff like launching URLs, but with Gnome nowadays, everything is possible... m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
