One more related note:
5) While I personally think the "Web Browser" and "Mail" launching
icons
should launch the chosen Preferred Applications rather than the
hard-coded mozilla or evolution, there are technical barriers currently
preventing this. Launching the preferred application must be tested to
be far more reliable than it has been in the past. Also this presents
challenges with application startup feedback. It would be really great
if we can think of ways to solve these problems.
A simple approach might be to extend the desktop file format to allow
PreferredApp=browser rather than Exec=mozilla
But requires a
freedesktop.org preferred app spec probably, or has to be
done as X-GNOME-PreferredApp
