 I agree with this, the default should be sensible-browser for http and
 https. I suppose this would be easily achieved with a
 /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/01gnome-vfs with the new scheme Josselin
 introduced.

 Anyone opposed to this?

 I could not find any trace of this in the changelog, but my account has
 sensible-browser as the default too.  :-/
