Bug#613860: gnome: default browser not used anymore

[Lennert Van Alboom]

I've been hitting the same issue. More specifically:

- x-www-browser is set to iceweasel
- gnome-www-browser is set to iceweasel
- sensible-browser opens iceweasel, as expected
- gconf2 and gnome preferred applications UI confirm that iceweasel is set

Regardless of all this, gnome-terminal opens all links in google chrome. 
Uninstalling google chrome results in a big error popup saying that 
chrome couldn't be found.

One interesting lead for this problem:

$ python -c 'import gio; f = gio.File("http://www.google.com"); print 
f.query_default_handler(); print 
gio.app_info_get_default_for_uri_scheme("http");'
<gio.unix.DesktopAppInfo at 0x7f47d5667eb0: Google Chrome>
<gio.unix.DesktopAppInfo at 0x7f47d5667eb0: Google Chrome>

So at least *something* still thinks chrome should be the default 
handler for http. No idea what package governs this though.
