Title:
  Setting browser "Default application" ineffective (screenshot
  attached). Gnome.

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
