GConf is no longer used for URL handlers in GNOME 3. Choosing a preferred web browser copies the browser's .desktop file (/usr/share/applications/midori.desktop in this case, I assume) to: ~/.local/share/applications/preferred-web-browser.desktop The .desktop file holds the execute command. Probably something like: Exec=midori %U Also, a useful command-line test when Evolution doesn't appear to be opening URLs or attachments properly is: gvfs-open http://www.example.org/ or gvfs-open /path/to/saved/attachment.pdf This is essentially all Evolution does through a library call, and what happens next is out of its control. So this test will isolate whether the misbehavior is Evolution-specific or your desktop configuration.
