How about just adding desktop-file-utils as a native-input to rxvt-unicode (and 
other few special cases) with a comment saying that's because of the desktop 
file?

Glib is a basic C library that hasn't much to do with GUI.  I think that if you 
check for glib you'll run the hook for system daemons, dbus etc.

Glib is basically the runtime library that makes C sane to use for any purpose.

Also, desktop-file-utils itself requires glib so make sure you don't enter an 
endless loop :)
