Title: Upgrade to 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.
