I'll stretch the last point from the future PR plan. Maybe we find another 
solution for existing users or just leave them with their configuration.

WRT `gtk_show_uri()`: for it doesn't work with any local filesystem URL, 
neither with `file://` prefix nor without nor escaped nor unescaped.

At the end, I got even this:
```20:50:02: Geany WARNING      : ShellExecute failed opening 
"http://www.geany.org": Failed to execute helper program (Invalid argument)
```, i.e. it didn't open a plain and dead simple HTTP uri :(.
Based on the error message, I guess it might indeed related to GVFS and its 
absence on Windows :).

Some time after the release I would work on the above mentioned behavior change 
to prefer the users' preferences and falling back to the old, slightly broken 
method.
