[Bug 12464] ShellExecute does not integrate well with external handlers

The common use case is "I've got this one windows app...", not "I want to
simulate an entire windows system".

We can't rely on xdg-open being there yet because there are a lot of RHEL 5
systems out there.   Just yesterday I got grief from someone with a lot of
RHEL 5 deployed (and unable to upgrade to RHEL 6 for now), who was upset that
wine didn't build and run properly there.   So, until the installed Linux base
really does uniformly have xdg-open, we should support falling back to
gnome-open and kde-open.  It's not hard.
