As this isn't yet actual standard but proposed only, I decided to give
my users ability to select preferred way to "open" media files, so even
running some exotic desktop (Fluxbox and FVWM are very popular choices
here) they can open urls from my application using either kfmclient,
gnome-open or custom defined command.
