In many packages we use =E2=80=9Cwrap-program=E2=80=9D (and in a few we use
=E2=80=9Cwrap-script=E2=80=9D) to create a shell script that sets environme=
nt variables
and then calls the actual program.

The Thunar executable could perhaps be wrapped with a shell script that
first sets the PATH environment variable to a value that includes the
=E2=80=9Cbin=E2=80=9D directory of the =E2=80=9Cglib=E2=80=9D package=E2=80=
=99s =E2=80=9Cbin=E2=80=9D output.  The result is
that Thunar will be able to find gio-launch-desktop in the PATH.
