OK, did all that. However Gnome seems to have decided to ignore
anything I say to it. The gconftool-2 tool does correctly set 
.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/%gconf.xml (NOTE: at the
moment I'm trying to get http working again, before moving on
to https). I can verify this via:

gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers

However if I look at it via gnome-control-center, I just get the
same old values as before and no amount of clicking, typing, closing,
opening, restarting etc. makes any difference.

I know little of the architecture of Gnome, but maybe there's a demon
that's supposed to load the file and report to Gnome apps via CORBA
or whatever, and the demon has died for some reason.
