only.Expand description
This is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO (i.e. you need to install gvfs to get support for uri schemes such as http:// or ftp://, as only local files are handled by GIO itself). Typical examples are

the show_uri()
call. If timestamp is not known you can take
GDK_CURRENT_TIME
.
This is the recommended call to be used as it passes information necessary for sandbox helpers to parent their dialogs properly.
