<para>
This module provides functions to execute certain kinds of applications,
for which users can select their preferred ones. For example, whenever
you need to run a command in a terminal emulator from within your
application you should use exo_execute_terminal_shell() or
exo_execute_terminal_shell_on_screen() to make sure you run the user's
preferred terminal emulator.
</para>
<para>
On the other hand if you need to display an URL (i.e. you want to point
the user to the website of your application), you should use exo_url_show()
or exo_url_show_on_screen() from the <link
linkend="exo-Opening-URLs">exo-url</link> module instead, as they will
try to automatically determine the appropriate viewer for a given URL.
