The common use case is "I've got this one windows app...", not "I want to
simulate an entire windows system".

We can't rely on xdg-open being there yet because there are a lot of RHEL 5
systems out there.   Just yesterday I got grief from someone with a lot of
RHEL 5 deployed (and unable to upgrade to RHEL 6 for now), who was upset that
wine didn't build and run properly there.   So, until the installed Linux base
really does uniformly have xdg-open, we should support falling back to
gnome-open and kde-open.  It's not hard.
