[Qt-interest] QDesktopServices and QtGui dependency

[Francesco Lamonica]

Thank you all for the answers,
eventually i'll follow one of the solutions mentioned; we have a commercial
license so i am not entirely sure if that changes the possibility to include
parts of that code, i'll check that later; however i think that this
specific part of QDesktopServices should be moved to a different class to
avoid the Gui dependency, dont you agree?

regards
