I didn't notice there is gvfs-open and it works like a charm. However the problem with gnome_url_show() is still there. For example, the gnome run command dialogue doesn't work well, bahaving in the same way as gnome-open. The same goes with (for me) tracker-search-tool and some other gnome apps also. A quick google doesn't give any promising results, but i reckon it might be possible to make gnomevfs behave better without patching every software?
