/**
 * egg_desktop_file_launch:
 * @desktop_file: an #EggDesktopFile
 * @documents: a list of URIs or paths to documents to open
 * @error: error pointer
 * @...: additional options
 *
 * Launches @desktop_file with the given arguments. Additional options
 * can be specified as follows:
 *
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_CLEARENV: (no arguments)
 *       clears the environment in the child process
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_PUTENV: (char **variables)
 *       adds the NAME=VALUE strings in the given %NULL-terminated
 *       array to the child process's environment
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_SCREEN: (GdkScreen *screen)
 *       causes the application to be launched on the given screen
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_WORKSPACE: (int workspace)
 *       causes the application to be launched on the given workspace
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_DIRECTORY: (char *dir)
 *       causes the application to be launched in the given directory
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_TIME: (guint32 launch_time)
 *       sets the "launch time" for the application. If the user
 *       interacts with another window after @launch_time but before
 *       the launched application creates its first window, the window
 *       manager may choose to not give focus to the new application.
 *       Passing 0 for @launch_time will explicitly request that the
 *       application not receive focus.
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_FLAGS (GSpawnFlags flags)
 *       Sets additional #GSpawnFlags to use. See g_spawn_async() for
 *       more details.
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_SETUP_FUNC (GSpawnChildSetupFunc, gpointer)
 *       Sets the child setup callback and the data to pass to it.
 *       (See g_spawn_async() for more details.)
 *
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_RETURN_PID (GPid **pid)
 *       On a successful launch, sets *@pid to the PID of the launched
 *       application.
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_RETURN_STARTUP_ID (char **startup_id)
 *       On a successful launch, sets *@startup_id to the Startup
 *       Notification "startup id" of the launched application.
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_RETURN_STDIN_PIPE (int *fd)
 *       On a successful launch, sets *@fd to the file descriptor of
 *       a pipe connected to the application's stdin.
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_RETURN_STDOUT_PIPE (int *fd)
 *       On a successful launch, sets *@fd to the file descriptor of
 *       a pipe connected to the application's stdout.
 *   %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_RETURN_STDERR_PIPE (int *fd)
 *       On a successful launch, sets *@fd to the file descriptor of
 *       a pipe connected to the application's stderr.
 *
 * The options should be terminated with a single %NULL.
 *
 * If @documents contains multiple documents, but
 * egg_desktop_file_accepts_multiple() returns %FALSE for
 * @desktop_file, then egg_desktop_file_launch() will actually launch
 * multiple instances of the application. In that case, the return
 * value (as well as any values passed via
 * %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_RETURN_PID, etc) will only reflect the
 * first instance of the application that was launched (but the
 * %EGG_DESKTOP_FILE_LAUNCH_SETUP_FUNC will be called for each
 * instance).
 *
 * Return value: %TRUE if the application was successfully launched.
