I've just uploaded a patch/suggestion/module (#1301512) to SourceForge which seeks to provide the equivalent of os.startfile for KDE and GNOME (as well as Windows) as part of a generic desktop module: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1301512&group_id=5470&atid=305470 Rather than submit yet another PEP and argue about insignificant details whilst the webbrowser module sits comfortably in the standard library, failing to address general file-opening issues directly and doing the wrong thing under various modern desktop environments, I advocate people submitting suggestions, criticism and amendments to the uploaded attachment until we have something like os.startfile for all major desktop environments.
