+Summary: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start does not open file/uri-scheme through associated apps
+
+Description of Problem:
+Process.Start on Linux does not load file/uri-scheme through associated apps.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.mono-project.com/")
+
+Actual Results:
+throws System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
+
+Expected Results:
+Open user default web browser to http://www.mono-project.com/
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Everytime
+
+
+Additional Information:
+According to MSDN documentation Process.Start(string) must also open any
+file/uri-scheme associated with an application in the desktop environment.
+e.g: on Gnome, Process.Start("~") should fire Nautilus as file browser.
+
+Also, this "other" way gave same result :
+ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo("http://www.mono-project.com/");
+psi.UseShellExecute = true;
+Process.Start(psi);
