Bug#245237: capplets: gnome-default-applications-properties : gnome seems to ignore my default applications

[Frederic Minne]

Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.6.1-11
Followup-For: Bug #245237

Applications seem to ignore the default applications I selected in
gnome-default-applications-properties. Instead of using my default
choices (mozilla-firefox, xterm...) it uses the gnome default ones
(epiphany, gnome-terminal...). 

Thanks in advance
