Hmm, but this doesn't solve the problem. First of all it changes the
default browser for all users (not a big problem though). 
Second, GNOME doesn't use x-www-browser. x-www-browser points to Galeon
on my system, but if i click on a link in Evolution or on a HTML page in
Nautilus it starts Ephipany. I used to be able to change this with the
"standaardtoepassingen" (default applications) application (from
gnome-capplets I think), but  if i set the web-browser to firefox or
mozilla there, GNOME applications still start Ephipany.

Greetings Arjan
