What's your DE? GNOME?

I would check if the url handler is set it right in Gconf:

/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto

Are you using a custom script to launch Gmail? Does it work when you set  
another e-mail clients (like Icedove, Evolution or mailx/mutt...)?

There is a package (gnome-gmail) that automates this, but I see it only 
available for wheezy/sid.
