Re: open an URL in the "standard" gnome selected browser

[Jan Pfeifer <pfjan yahoo com br>]

Found out :)

So, for others searching for the same question, here is the code to launch the browser configured in gnome as the preferred application:

    if( ! gnome_url_show_on_screen ( url.c_str(), get_screen()->gobj(), 0 ) ) {
        logger.error( "Wasn't able to open URL : "+url );
        Gtk::MessageDialog message( *mywindow, 
            "An error has occurred while trying to launch the "
            "default web browser.\n\n"
            "Please check your settings in the "
            "'Preferred Applications' preference tool.\n\n"
            "You can continue with the login process, by opening"
            " the following address in your browser:\n\n"
            +url, false, Gtk::MESSAGE_WARNING );
        message.run();
    }

note, this code is scoped inside a method of a Gtk::Dialog derivate.
