* gnome-vfs2: Default gconf schema that defines the "about:" type.
* gnome-vfs2: Default gconf schema pointing to mozilla, so default Desktop is guaranteed to run a browser that is installed.
* control-center: Preferred Application chooser sets http, https, about, and unknown gconf keys.
* control-center: Preferred Application chooser shows only installed applications, rather than a hard coded list. (Note that I need help verifying that there were no end-user visible string changes that would complicate things for non-English locales. I suspect this is not an issue for this simple application.)
* htmlview: Use the above defined Preferred Applications in the "right" way.
* htmlview: Avoids known infinite loops.
* htmlview: Prevents invalid browser configurations, forcing user to choose a different browser.
These backported improvements also will simplify transition to FC2 later for user desktop profiles, as all behavior should behave identically.
I am warning the lists a week in advance so that people may suggest other "known good" small fixes for these three packages. For example someone suggested a minor x86_64 crash fix for control-center. Please suggest other fixes.
