/**
 * SECTION:gappinfo
 * @short_description: Application information and launch contexts
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 * @see_also: #GAppInfoMonitor
 * 
 * #GAppInfo and #GAppLaunchContext are used for describing and launching
 * applications installed on the system.
 *
 * As of GLib 2.20, URIs will always be converted to POSIX paths
 * (using g_file_get_path()) when using g_app_info_launch() even if
 * the application requested an URI and not a POSIX path. For example
 * for an desktop-file based application with Exec key `totem
 * &percnt;U` and a single URI, `sftp://foo/file.avi`, then
 * `/home/user/.gvfs/sftp on foo/file.avi` will be passed. This will
 * only work if a set of suitable GIO extensions (such as gvfs 2.26
 * compiled with FUSE support), is available and operational; if this
 * is not the case, the URI will be passed unmodified to the application.
 * Some URIs, such as `mailto:`, of course cannot be mapped to a POSIX
 * path (in gvfs there's no FUSE mount for it); such URIs will be
 * passed unmodified to the application.
 *
 * Specifically for gvfs 2.26 and later, the POSIX URI will be mapped
 * back to the GIO URI in the #GFile constructors (since gvfs
 * implements the #GVfs extension point). As such, if the application
 * needs to examine the URI, it needs to use g_file_get_uri() or
 * similar on #GFile. In other words, an application cannot assume
 * that the URI passed to e.g. g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() is
 * equal to the result of g_file_get_uri(). The following snippet
 * illustrates this:
 *
 * |[ 
 * GFile *f;
 * char *uri;
 *
 * file = g_file_new_for_commandline_arg (uri_from_commandline);
 *
 * uri = g_file_get_uri (file);
 * strcmp (uri, uri_from_commandline) == 0;
 * g_free (uri);
 *
 * if (g_file_has_uri_scheme (file, "cdda"))
 *   {
 *     /&ast; do something special with uri &ast;/
 *   }
 * g_object_unref (file);
 * ]|
 *
 * This code will work when both `cdda://sr0/Track 1.wav` and
 * `/home/user/.gvfs/cdda on sr0/Track 1.wav` is passed to the
 * application. It should be noted that it's generally not safe
 * for applications to rely on the format of a particular URIs.
 * Different launcher applications (e.g. file managers) may have
 * different ideas of what a given URI means.

/**
 * SECTION:gappinfomonitor
 * @short_description: Monitor application information for changes
 *
 * #GAppInfoMonitor is a very simple object used for monitoring the app
 * info database for changes (ie: newly installed or removed
 * applications).
 *
 * Call g_app_info_monitor_get() to get a #GAppInfoMonitor and connect
 * to the "changed" signal.
 *
 * In the usual case, applications should try to make note of the change
 * (doing things like invalidating caches) but not act on it.  In
 * particular, applications should avoid making calls to #GAppInfo APIs
 * in response to the change signal, deferring these until the time that
 * the data is actually required.  The exception to this case is when
 * application information is actually being displayed on the screen
 * (eg: during a search or when the list of all applications is shown).
 * The reason for this is that changes to the list of installed
 * applications often come in groups (like during system updates) and
 * rescanning the list on every change is pointless and expensive.
 *
 * Since: 2.40

/**
 * GAppInfoMonitor:
 *
 * The only thing you can do with this is to get it via
 * g_app_info_monitor_get() and connect to the "changed" signal.

 **/

/* We have one of each of these per main context and hand them out
 * according to the thread default main context at the time of the call
 * to g_app_info_monitor_get().
 *
 * g_object_unref() is only ever called from the same context, so we
 * effectively have a single-threaded scenario for each GAppInfoMonitor.
 *
 * We use a hashtable to cache the per-context monitor (but we do not
 * hold a ref).  During finalize, we remove it.  This is possible
 * because we don't have to worry about the usual races due to the
 * single-threaded nature of each object.
 *
 * We keep a global list of all contexts that have a monitor for them,
 * which we have to access under a lock.  When we dispatch the events to
 * be handled in each context, we don't pass the monitor, but the
 * context itself.
 *
 * We dispatch from the GLib worker context, so if we passed the
 * monitor, we would need to take a ref on it (in case it was destroyed
 * in its own thread meanwhile).  The monitor holds a ref on a context
 * and the dispatch would mean that the context would hold a ref on the
 * monitor.  If someone stopped iterating the context at just this
 * moment both the context and monitor would leak.
 *
 * Instead, we dispatch the context to itself.  We don't hold a ref.
 * There is the danger that the context will be destroyed during the
 * dispatch, but if that is the case then we just won't receive our
 * callback.
 *
 * When the dispatch occurs we just lookup the monitor in the hashtable,
 * by context.  We can now add and remove refs, since the context will
 * have been acquired.
