Online help issue

[Bela Markus]

Nick,

further tests shows, that MIME type association in 
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list works only if GVFS is available.

When GVFS is not installed, online help button gives "Browser not 
available" even if exo-open works fine. Tracing down the code it looks 
like gtk_show_uri() in xfce-dialogs.c requires GVFS which is a soft 
depenedency, Xfce 4.10 itself do not need GVFS. I'm porting 4.10 to Tiny 
Core Linux and to keep it small GVFS is not necessarily installed.

My advice is to replace gtk_show_uri() with  exo-open in xfce-dialogs.c

Regards... Béla
