gconf vs. gnome-vfs for default web browser

[jacob berkman <jacob ximian com>]

in fixing the default apps crapplet to work, i thought that the right
thing to do for the default web browser would be to set the default
text/html application to what the user chose, and have gnome_url_show()
first check the protocol handlers in gconf like it does, then instaed of
using the default stuff in gconf, use the default app for text/html in
gnome-vfs.

this way, opening html files in nautilus would do the thing the user
expects, and would be easy to configure.

anyone forsee any problems with this?
