Title:
  Allow Webapps as preferred Applications

Status in gnome-control-center:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

  Ubuntu allow the user to select its prefered application but when
  user's prefered application is a web service (gmail or google calendar
  for instance) user can't use it within Ubuntu with the same level of
  integration.

  For instance there is no easy way to select a popular webmail as default mail application.
  However you can find on the web a trick to use Gmail as GNOME’s default mailer for mailto links http://matthew.ruschmann.net/blog/Linux/gnome-gmail-1.1.html (that trick works on a system level, not only in Firefox like Firefox 3's new ability to register webapps as link handlers)
