[RFC] netx: fix missing space that causes showDocuement(URL) to fail

Hi,

Netx provides a way to open a URL in the web browser using 
XBasicService.showDocument(URL). Currently it fails to work because of a 
missing space between the browser command (eg: /usr/bin/firefox) and the 
URL (eg: www.google.ca). The attached patch attempts to fix this.

The problem can be replicated with the program at [1] which does nothing 
when you enter a url and press enter. Running with -verbose shows:

call privileged method: showDocument
            arg: http://www.google.ca
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program 
"/usr/bin/firefoxhttp://www.google.ca": java.io.IOException: error=2, No 
such file or directory.

Any objections to committing this?

Cheers,
Omair
