1248 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

1251 also uses less memory overall.

1256 that a GError is set or unset

1260 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1261 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1263 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

2924 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2928 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2929 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
