Leon, have you tried to edit the ~/home/yournamehere/.gnome/Gnome file?
It appears as though you haven't tried this trick yet - example:

[URL Handlers]
default-show=galeon "%s"
info-show=nautilus --no-desktop "%s"
man-show=nautilus --no-desktop "%s"
ghelp-show=nautilus --no-desktop "%s"

It's a help to have galeon setup in gconf-editor - in as many places as
you can find it...but this text file seems to be that "magic" config
file that will make your life happy again...
