Use gtk_show_uri instead of launching xdg-open (1.43 KB, patch)

Description Chris Coulson 2009-03-12 22:17:46 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
This bug was reported at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/337235:

1. Open "Volume Control"
2. Click on [Help]-Button

-> Error-Message is displayed
---
Unable to load page
The requested URI "ghelp:///gnome-volume-control" is invalid

This is because gst-mixer uses xdg-open to launch Yelp, and the URI gets changed along the way. I've reported that as a separate bug against glib. However, this can be worked around by using gtk_show_uri instead of launching xdg-open

Steps to reproduce:
1. Right-click on mixer_apple and select Open Volume Control
2. Click Help


Actual results:
Yelp opens with an error dialog referring to the URI being invalid

Expected results:
Help should open

Does this happen every time?
Yes
