This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

There was proposed workaround in the gvfs upstream bug, but it has not been pushed to master... This should be fixed in gio, because g_app_info_launch_uris returns too early and there isn't way to detect this...
