Bug #11440
Adjust /etc/gnome/defaults.list for Stretch
Start date:

Due date:
% Done:
100%
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
