Those '/desktop/....' aren't folders or directories in your filesystem,
they are gconf keys that hold information within the gconf system.  Try
doing something like:

/usr/bin/gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command

This should come back with something like "firefox %s" - this means that
gnome is using firefox as the program that handles URL requests.  What
the command above are doing is changing the programs.  The only bit you
need to change for your own system is the bit at the end in the quotes,
the rest you should type as-is.
