Description

There's a link in the About CHIRP dialog - http://chirp.danplanet.com
It doesn't work in the Windows 7. It's occuring the message: Could not show link / No application is registered as handling this file.
But the Windows 7 opens http://chirp.danplanet.com (ex. via Run dialog) successful.

(py) GTK under windows isn't configured to launch URLs in either the current chirp daily (.exe) build or when running from source.

On Linux, clicking the link will launch the web browser correctly.

This might be a problem with pyGTK, or GTK under windows. GTK should use whatever the default browser is under Windows which is platform specific code.

This appears to be a limitation of GTK with the stock URL handling in about dialog markup.

A patch has been sent to the mailing list to resolve the issue which was verified against Ubuntu and Windows 8.
