I don't see why we shouldn't offer external apps as a fallback if
Nautilus can't display an URI. People obviously want [1,2] this feature.
The onliest reason why one would like to see why displaying a particular
location by Nautilus failed is for debugging purposes, and since we
(hooray for OSS!) have printf debugging, there is IMHO no reason to
display this dialog if we haven't utilized all available funds for doing
what the user wants - displaying an URI.
