Bug#241716: Default browser shouldn't be sensible-browser

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: libgnome2-common
Version: 2.6.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental sid

The topic was already discussed on debian-gtk-gnome, but it needs to be 
registered in the BTS.

By default, GNOME use Debian's sensible-browser as the default. This is 
bad, as the alternatives can easily point to a non-GNOME browser. I'd 
suggest to default it to a script that should look like:

for browser in epiphany galeon mozilla-firefox mozilla; do
  if [ -x /usr/bin/$browser ]; then
    exec /usr/bin/$browser "$@"
  fi
done
exec /usr/bin/sensible-browser "$@"
