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?

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);
