Well, you put the label inside a button. Gnome btw. has a widget (GnomeHRef)
for this precise purpose.
But since I don't want my app depend on Gnome, I have created my own version,
which was easy enough.
It starts like that:
def href_button(box, caption):
hbox = gtk.HBox(False) ; box.pack_start(hbox, True, True, 0)
label = gtk.Label("<span foreground='blue'
underline='low'>"+caption+':'+'</span>')
label.set_use_markup(True)
button = gtk.Button()
button.add(label)
button.set_relief(gtk.RELIEF_NONE)
...
How do you plan to get the default browser? If you read the Gnome GConf key, be
aware that you are excluding all non-Gnome users, which usually won't bother
with Gnome's Control Center. You *can* use the Gnome preferred apps key, but it
is a good idea to make the browser choice configurable from inside your app as
well. The kind of "integration" which the "Preferred Applications" capplet
provides is misguided and a disservice to FOSS users at large lest it happens
in a freedesktop.org context.
