I think this is correct in more recent versions, though I do remember it
not working properly when we needed it originally, so I went with
Gnome.Open.

Essentially System.Diagnostics.Process just uses xdg-open underneath,
which hasn't existed for much more than a year IIRC. With Banshee trunk,
System.Diagnostics.Process is the way to go.
