Fails on AppImage Run with Missing File Error

The AppImage is generated correctly but when it's run the following error message appears: sed: can't read /tmp/.mount_epiphaICAN9X//usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache: No such file or directory.

The AppImage runs without errors when the lines (106 and 107) related to the error are commented out but the root-cause and actual fix are probably another story.

That part was authored by @x0rg. Mind to have a look?

The immodules.cache file is copied from host to AppDir during build process.
Your error suggests this file is absent on the host.

How do you build your AppImage (distro, command, etc...)? Can you share your AppImage with us for a deeper look?

Merge pull request #9 from X0rg/fix_#3

@ahimta

@ahimta Can you tell us if 6c53d80 fixes this?

@x0rg 6c53d80 indeed fixes this. And a GIO bug that I haven't reported yet is fixed too.

For reference, I outline how to reproduce this issue. Which can also serve as part of a regression suite for the GTK plugin. Just make sure you have both files in the working directory and execute rebroduce-bug.sh
