I may be missing the discussion about this, but how about
use gnome-open instead of the script? it gives us
GUI(gnome-default-applications-properties) to configure the
browser they want to use, and we have already changed the
default browser for g-d-a-p to sensible-browser. so I think
it would be good enough.
