Theres a little tool you can install (and I think you can adjust things manually yourself) so that mailto: will kick gmail in. It can be handy for those online links so that it will open a gmail compose window, but of all the people I know who use gmail I think only 2 of them have it set up this way. I'm not one of them either, so its a safe bet that in most cases your point is correct. In that situation, it would open an unconfigured "default" mail client which would indeed be useless.
