I also cannot get a URL to open with anything but Netscape.  I edited
the properties of the link to no avail.  Perhaps it's a bug?  I can
edit the caption, so I thought I'd find were gnome stores this info
and directly edit that file, but I could not find it.  It stores
nothing but the URL in the actual file which is:
~/.gnome-desktop/name-of-dsktop-shortcut

Hobbes:  Do you have an idea for your story yet?
Calvin:  No, I'm waiting for inspiration.  You can't just turn on
         creativity like a faucet.  You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes:  What mood is that?
Calvin:  Last-minute panic.
