Evolution 1.3.x are the beta versions for 1.4, so most hints on 1.3
should apply to 1.4 as well.


Gnome Control Center will be useful, when adjusting general Gnome
settings shared by all applications. Maybe you wanna install them, even
if not using Gnome as desktop.

However, as long as you have installed gconftool-2 (or gconftool), you
can set the desired properties manually (gconf-editor may be useful,
too):

See, which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a
file, so you can revert to those settings!

$ gconftool -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown
 command = mozilla %s
 need-terminal = false
 enabled = true


Now, this should enter all those values (at least, they work for me):

$ gconftool --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla %s'
$ gconftool --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false
$ gconftool --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true


As you do not want Mozilla as browser, substitute the string mozilla in
the above command to the browser you want. Make sure, it is in your
path. For this to work, the browser of your choice (example Mozilla) has
to open the Gnome website with the following command:
$ mozilla http://www.gnome.org


FYI: The method Stephen posted is the appropriate way for Evolution 1.2,
not current 1.4.
