Are you sure you have xdg-utils installed? What happens when you run `xdg-open http://www.google.com`?

I think we should add better error-checking for xdg-utils. I don't think we should add a build dependency since it's not required to build the program, but probably we should show up an error dialog instead of just writing to stderr as we do now.
