Interesting, but... Who's system of alternatives? Gentoo's? Mandrakes?
Gnome's? All I really want is to find the config file that tells evolution
to use some browser. I am ever so very very reluctant to install a foreign
(to Gentoo, as I see it) config system editor on my system. I can just
imagine what it would change on me that I do not want changed.

Still, thanks for the info.

Apparently, this is how you do it (on Gentoo, but maybe gnome in
general):

	To change the default browser if you are not using GNOME, do:

	 gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command \
		-t string 'mozilla %s'

	 gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command \
		-t string 'mozilla %s'

	Replace 'mozilla %s' with which ever browser you use.

I will see this evening if this is correct.
