Title:
  use gvfs-open/xdg-open in Lib/webbrowser.py

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “python3.2” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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/
