415 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
416 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

418 also uses less memory overall.

423 that a GError is set or unset
425 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
427 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
428 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
430 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
431 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
