+ \class QDesktopServices
+ \brief The QDesktopServices class provides methods for accessing common desktop services.
+ \since 4.2
+ \ingroup desktop
+
+ Many desktop environments provide services that can be used by applications to
+ perform common tasks, such as opening a web page, in a way that is both consistent
+ and takes into account the user's application preferences.
+
+ This class contains functions that provide simple interfaces to these services
+ that indicate whether they succeeded or failed.
+
+ The openUrl() function is used to open files located at arbitrary URLs in external
+ applications. For URLs that correspond to resources on the local filing system
+ (where the URL scheme is "file"), a suitable application will be used to open the
+ file; otherwise, a web browser will be used to fetch and display the file.
+
+ The user's desktop settings control whether certain executable file types are
+ opened for browsing, or if they are executed instead. Some desktop environments
+ are configured to prevent users from executing files obtained from non-local URLs,
+ or to ask the user's permission before doing so.
+
+ \section1 URL Handlers
+
+ The behavior of the openUrl() function can be customized for individual URL
+ schemes to allow applications to override the default handling behavior for
+ certain types of URLs.
+
+ The dispatch mechanism allows only one custom handler to be used for each URL
+ scheme; this is set using the setUrlHandler() function. Each handler is
+ implemented as a slot which accepts only a single QUrl argument.
+
+ The existing handlers for each scheme can be removed with the
+ unsetUrlHandler() function. This returns the handling behavior for the given
+ scheme to the default behavior.
+
+ This system makes it easy to implement a help system, for example. Help could be
+ provided in labels and text browsers using \gui{help://myapplication/mytopic}
+ URLs, and by registering a handler it becomes possible to display the help text
+ inside the application:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_util_qdesktopservices.cpp 0
+
+ If inside the handler you decide that you can't open the requested
+ URL, you can just call QDesktopServices::openUrl() again with the
+ same argument, and it will try to open the URL using the
+ appropriate mechanism for the user's desktop environment.
+
+ \sa QSystemTrayIcon, QProcess
+*/
+
+/*!
+ Opens the given \a url in the appropriate Web browser for the user's desktop
+ environment, and returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.
+
+ If the URL is a reference to a local file (i.e., the URL scheme is "file") then
+ it will be opened with a suitable application instead of a Web browser.
+
+ The following example opens a file on the Windows file system residing on a path
+ that contains spaces:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_util_qdesktopservices.cpp 2
+
+ If a \c mailto URL is specified, the user's e-mail client will be used to open a
+ composer window containing the options specified in the URL, similar to the way
+ \c mailto links are handled by a Web browser.
+
+ For example, the following URL contains a recipient (\c{user@foo.com}), a
+ subject (\c{Test}), and a message body (\c{Just a test}):
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_util_qdesktopservices.cpp 1
+
+ \warning Although many e-mail clients can send attachments and are
+ Unicode-aware, the user may have configured their client without these features.
+ Also, certain e-mail clients (e.g., Lotus Notes) have problems with long URLs.

+ has a handler, the existing handler is simply replaced with the new one.
