The webbrowser.py is using gnome-open. This is no longer supported by gnome, instead they use gvfs-open. The attached patch adds support for this and will also use xdg-open if available as this is meant to be the 
cross desktop tool to use for this kind of task, see http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/

If gvfs is preferred, should its if block come second, or perhaps those two should be an if/elif block?

I don't think so. the register calls append to the list, don't overwrite it.

OK, sounds fine.  Shall we close this as fixed then?
