Use xdg-open instead of gnome-open, if possible. We might want to use xdg-open on other DEs too, because apparently it knows about KDE and XFCE and things. We might even be able to get rid of our browser prefs tab on those too.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
