Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Although there is an explicit setting in gnome-default-applications-
properties for the user to choose her or his preferred applications,
some such applications keep asking the user directly to change this
setting.
E.g. evolution and thunderbird would ask the user to change the
"preferred" mail client setting to themselves, as do firefox and
chromium for the web browser. See screenshot as an example. If you
switch applications, applications would begin to fight over the
"preferred" status again and again unless you tell them not to do so.
IMHO, this is a usability issue and should not happen.
An applications should not change this setting on its own, even if it
asked the user before doing this.
