Hi Ross,
here seems to be the problem:
([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)% gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command
/home/peter/tmp/firefox/firefox "%s"

I should mention I don't use gnome, but rather xfce4 so I have no idea
what gconftool is or does, but an uneducated guess suggests its a way
for gnome to tell applications what the browser and editor and the like
are set to?

Can it not just use /usr/bin/sensible-browser? 

Thanks for your help
