Title:
  [maverick] gnome-open doesn't use correct default browser

Status in “libgnome” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Doing a "sudo gnome-open http://www.ubuntu.com"; doesn't use the
  default browser that is configured for my user, or for the root user.

  On my laptop, it pulls up chromium. In a VM, it pulls up a browser
  called "Arora".

  This causes apport to open an unsupported browser when it's running
  with elevated privileges.
