Description: Right after upgrading glib2, I cannot launch
anymore any software pinned in my mate panel bar.
When I try to launch them, I got an error message. Execution of the child process "gio-launch-desktop" failed: no such file or directory. Looking at release notes of glib2, I read this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/master/NEWS " Overview of changes in GLib 2.63.6 ================================== [...] * Drop `gio-launch-desktop` helper application in favour of calling `sh` directly (#1633)" https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/1633 Downgrading glib2 fixes the issue. Additional info:" glib2: 2.64.0-1 Steps to reproduce: Just update an Archlinux with testing and mate on it. Add some software in a panel and try to launch them by clicking on their icon... |

A cleaner way to fix the issue: rebuild dbus-glib and then
mate-panel. Looks like a mass-rebuild will be needed for glib
2.64.x.

I had this issue this morning on boot. I had installed glib2 2.64
yesterday before shutting down my computer.

Cannot reproduce it anymore. Looks like it was my fault here.
Sorry for bugspam, asking for closure.
