Bug Description

Binary package hint: xchat-gnome

g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri pulls information from gconf as to how to
handle irc URIs. The current version sets the command to xchat-gnome
--existing --url=%s, which doesn't work properly.

glib 2.26.0 (and maybe newer), strip the %s and append " %u", with a space.
This causes Xchat-Gnome to ignore the url, since there is a space between
--url= and the URL.

The -u option does work though.
