Desktop Detection
-----------------

To detect a specific desktop environment, use the get_desktop function.
To detect whether the desktop environment is standardised (according to the
proposed DESKTOP_LAUNCH standard), use the is_standard function.

Opening URLs
------------

To open a URL in the current desktop environment, relying on the automatic
detection of that environment, use the desktop.open function as follows:

desktop.open("http://www.python.org")

To override the detected desktop, specify the desktop parameter to the open
function as follows:

desktop.open("http://www.python.org", "KDE") # Insists on KDE
desktop.open("http://www.python.org", "GNOME") # Insists on GNOME

Without overriding using the desktop parameter, the open function will attempt
to use the "standard" desktop opening mechanism which is controlled by the
DESKTOP_LAUNCH environment variable as described below.

The DESKTOP_LAUNCH Environment Variable
---------------------------------------

The DESKTOP_LAUNCH environment variable must be shell-quoted where appropriate,
as shown in some of the following examples:

DESKTOP_LAUNCH="kdialog --msgbox"       Should present any opened URLs in
                                        their entirety in a KDE message box.
                                        (Command "kdialog" plus parameter.)
DESKTOP_LAUNCH="my\ opener"             Should run the "my opener" program to
                                        open URLs.
                                        (Command "my opener", no parameters.)
DESKTOP_LAUNCH="my\ opener --url"       Should run the "my opener" program to
                                        open URLs.
                                        (Command "my opener" plus parameter.)

Details of the DESKTOP_LAUNCH environment variable convention can be found here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2004-August/004489.html

Other Modules
-------------

The desktop.dialog module provides support for opening dialogue boxes.
The desktop.windows module permits the inspection of desktop windows.
