Bug#418274: please include desktop-open(1) command

[Robert Millan]

Package: libgnome2-0
Version: 2.16.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Please, could you include a neutral desktop-open(1) command as an alias for
gnome-open, via /etc/alternatives ?  The idea is that KDE, etc can provide
their own, and so applications can ressort to using this instead of gnome-open
in order to support all desktops in one shot.

Patch attached.
