This is a convenience function for launching the default application
to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO (i.e. you
need to install gvfs to get support for uri schemes such as http://
or ftp://, as only local files are handled by GIO itself).
Typical examples are

Ideally the timestamp is taken from the event triggering
the gtk_show_uri() call. If timestamp is not known you can take
GDK_CURRENT_TIME.
This is the recommended call to be used as it passes information
necessary for sandbox helpers to parent their dialogs properly.
