No, I wouldn't advise you to copy that method.  That's just a hack since
we don't require a new enough gtk+ yet.  The real solution is to use
gtk_show_uri(), I believe.  I'm not actually sure whether this has been
wrapped in gtkmm yet, but you can always call the gtk+ version.

I expected that gnomemm provided a C++ function corresponding to gnome_help_display, but apparently that doesn't exist. Then I read the doxygen-generated libgnomemm reference (that's the only gnomemm documentation I could find) but frankly I got quite lost into it.
