This was my first guess, yes. The issue is that I usually do local
upgrades on a daily basis (or multiple times a day when more significant
updates show up) and roll them out if everything looks ok, and for past
few weeks I've been doing those mostly remotely, without directly using
those configurations after; which was a bad idea, but it sometimes has
to happen.

Still, there was nothing too much out of ordinary in the first place,
with the glib+gtk being probably the most significant on the radar (and
even that a minor bump). So when I finally got back to the desktop and
noticed the URL symptoms showing up, and then getting the same reports
from other users too, it was already too late to point it to a specific
port that broke it.

But glib/gtk seems to be a good candidate as the time looks to be about
right, that's why I was asking if someone else gets the same issues and
and/if already knows what's causing it, before I start rolling back
ports one by one narrowing it down. I normally wouldn't expect GTK
handling stuff like launching URLs, but with Gnome nowadays, everything
is possible...
