How to start web browser from within the code?
 
I'm adding button to application written in C.
The button should fire up the web browser with the given url.

Any suggestions how can I do it?

use system() with a dbus-send command

Or for a non-security-problem-way, use spawnvp(), which won't have problems with spaces and/or weird quotes and/or mistaking commands for environment variables / bash commands / .... like system() does.

Wasn't there a simple shell command that would do the same thing?

Wouldn't it be better to make the DBUS call from the C-program directly rather than going through shell ?

Code:
QDBusInterface *interface = new QDBusInterface("com.nokia.osso_browser","/com/nokia/osso_browser/request","com.nokia.osso_browser");
interface->call("open_new_window",uri);
