After updating dev-libs/glib to 2.64.1 today, I'm getting runtime errors in xfce-base/thunar whenever I click a document in the file-browser. The popup says "Failed to open file <file>. Failed to execute child process 'gio-launch-desktop' (No such file or directory)." I haven't used a file browser to open files for a few weeks, so it might be, the issue has been popped up in earlier versions already. Reproducible: Always

I saw something similar in my running GNOME session (open with dialogs were empty) after upgrading to glib-2.64.1. gio-launch-desktop was removed in the 2.63.x series, so my suspicion is that the older glib still loaded in the running processes is trying to execute gio-launch-desktop. Restart your session and I bet the problem will go away.
Maybe an elog/einfo/whatever about it when being upgraded from older than 2.63.6?

Sorry, was the wrong elog, it had gtk-doc which didn't work. I don't have an elog for this particular build, but I can provide a build log. @Matt Turner Thanks for the hint, I'm trying this ASAP.

(In reply to Mart Raudsepp from comment #3) > Maybe an elog/einfo/whatever about it when being upgraded from older than > 2.63.6? Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Bernd, Mart wasn't requesting a log, but suggesting that we add an "einfo" message to the ebuild telling users to restart their session :)
Ups sorry... misunderstanding on my side

Can now confirm, restarting the session does work.
Excellent, thank you for the bug report and the testing!
