Hey, > on Linux you can use the `xdg-open` command[1] (it should be available > on any reasonably modern distribution as part of the cross-desktop > utilities[0]). you can use xdg-open to open any file or URI you pass > to it with the correct application for the file's MIME type; if that > path is a directory, then the default action is to open a file manager > window. the program I'm working on is using XDG system variables so I guess calling xdg-open shouldn't be a problem.

I'm currently working on a Fedora 20 machine to have the latest packages, although my default system is a Debian Wheezy system. So, I probably go with g_spawn. Thanks a lot.
