Evolution is a Gnome app and will not respect KDE settings. The same
surely applies the other way around, no KDE app will respect Gnome
settings.
Thus you will have to set the proper Gnome settings for the default
browser (see below).
Next note: You will need at least some basic Gnome apps to be installed.
If you don't have the Gnome Control Center installed, you probably
should -- or go the harder way as per the instructions below.
So here we go again with the most-wanted answer... ;-)

Setting default browser (Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x)
---------------------------------------------------
Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser
or simply run:
$ gnome-default-applications-properties
check 'Custom Web Browser'
Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"
This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new
mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me,
change it similar like that:
Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s"
Have the attached script in your path (or change the command to have the
whole path) and make the script executable.
If you want to use another browser rather than Mozilla, you have to
adjust the command (or the script for most of them, to enable tabs).
Setting default browser using *gconftool* (Gnome 2.0/2.2)
---------------------------------------------------------
You will need GConf (and the gconf daemon running) to set this. If you
do *not* have the Gnome Control Center installed, there is a way to set
this using GConf directly:
See, which values are stored in that sub-tree. Save the output to a
file, so you can revert to those settings!
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown
command = mozilla %s
need-terminal = false
enabled = true
Now, this should enter all those values (at least, they work for me):
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command 'mozilla
%s'
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/need-terminal false
$ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/enabled true
Setting default browser using *gconftool* (Gnome 2.4)
-----------------------------------------------------
This is basically the as above, just some GConf key change:
The relevant key on Gnome 2.4 has changed, but is pretty much similar.
Simply substitute "unknown" by "http", especially in the commands to set
the values.
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http
Also, the "https" branch may be useful. However, this is *not* set using
the GUI method mentioned above.
