Description

gnome-session (3.20.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Drop /usr/share/gnome/applications/defaults.list symlink and install
    /etc/gnome/defaults.list to /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list
    instead, as the xdg spec is allowing desktop specific default applications.
    If /etc/gnome/defaults.list was modified by the system administrator, the
    file is moved to /etc/xdg/gnome-mimeapps.list during the upgrade.
    This seems to fix default apps when running gnome-shell as a wayland
    compositor, as the 55gnome-session_gnomerc is not sourced in that case.

… and indeed, the ISO build is now broken due to this move. I’ve tried something in commit:daeb26c, but we’ll need to test if this works, i.e. whether 1. it’s taken into account (Tor Browser is the default GNOME web browser e.g. when clicking URLs); and 2. it does not kill the other file associations set up in /usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list.

Evince cannot open URLs because AppArmor prevents it from reading /etc/xdg/gnome-mimeapps.list.
