Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 14.04LTS:

In "system settings" there's a control for "Default applications" for "Web".
This does not appear to change the gnome-conf settings.
See attached screenshot.
Note how Firefox is shown in one place, Chrome in the other.

This in turn leads to incorrect behavior when a program like an RSS reader, Skype or https://josm.openstreetmap.de/
wants to open a browser window to a particular URL.  Usually I end up with a blank Chrome window, where I wanted
a filled in Firefox window.
