Public bug reported:

I have Rhythmbox and its Mozilla plugin installed, with (if I read
correctly) enables the use of iTunes podcast links.

However, when I click on such a link (example:
https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/swr3-gag-des-tages-
swr3.de/id268491259?mt=2), I do get a warning about starting "Quicktime
7.6.6 Plugin" and (if I accept) another warning about an external
protocol being opened "with xdg-open", but after that, nothing happens.
In .xsession-errors I get

(totem-plugin-viewer:11017): Gdk-WARNING **: The GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS environment 
variable is not supported in GTK3.
See the documentation for gdk_window_ensure_native() on how to get native 
windows.
TotemEmbedded-Message: Viewer state: STOPPED

If I disable the "Quicktime 7.6.6" Plugin, again nothing happens in the
GUI, and in .xsession-errors I get

gvfs-open: 
itmss://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/gerhard-schroder-uber-putin/id268491259?i=276468227&mt=2&ign-msr=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.de%2F:
 Error opening location: location not supported
(Error wording might be a little different, I backported it from German)

I would expect Rhythmbox to open and import the podcast in question.
When I open Rhythmbox manually and click on "Podcasts" then on "Import",
and paste the above URL, the podcast is imported and I can play it fine.
