Bug#568908: uses iceweasel for urls despite gconf being configured to use chromium

[Joey Hess]

So, when gnome-terminal asks gvfs to handle an url for it, gvfs goes off
and *downloads* the head of the url, so it can run magic on it. The
preferred application settings are entirely ignored AFAICS. If the file
is a tarball, it opens file-roller. If it's a file, it opens gedit. Etc.

If the file is a cgi script that contains sleep 120, gnome-terminal just
hangs for 2 minutes. That means *all* your terminals hang if you open
this url. Sweet.  http://kitenet.net/~joey/tmp/himom.cgi

See also: #561272 Now I think that in that bug, it's trying
to mount the ftp site so that it can download the file, in order to
determine what to run.
