Yes.

No, it should be faster. Currently, if you set UseShellExecute to true,
the command run is:

	$SHELL -c 'yourprogram yourparameters'

MS seems to run 'cmd /c  yourprogram yourparameters'. The diference is
that cmd on windows also handles something like 'cmd /c file.pdf' by
opening acrobat reader and stuff like that.

My idea is to distribute a shell script with mono that first tries
gnome-open or kfmclient and then defaults to $SHELL -c ... so that we
achieve similar functionality as MS.

When UseShellExecute is false, it's like running system ("yourprogram
yourparameters");
