Bug Description

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/
