Hm, this is the glib's fault. There is no way to add or change gio
modules path at runtime. It is, however, possible to do that at build
time of glib. I see 3 packages install gio modules - glib-networking,
dconf and gvfs. If we switch to GNOME_PREFIX again, we will need to
install those into /usr, or symlink them.
