Some answers and a specific request:

My mozilla is version M18-3 debian package. I downloaded it from 
ftp.us.debian.org early this week. It is in the stable branch.

I had looked at gnome-control-center earlier. I found the information that
needed changing under the URL heading, but I could not change it there. 
It appeared that there was no edit button for that heading. Maybe in the next
version of control-center.

But when I looked at it again, the changes that I made to ~/.gnome/Gnome showed
up under the URL heading. I guess I discovered the standard work-around. 

I started to trace the flow of control within gnome, but I've become confused.
There are several scripts that preprocess before the call to the mozilla binary.
Perhaps someone who has this feature in mozilla running would be willing to
email working versions of the scripts to me. Please.

Thanks.
