Summary: Prefer configured browser over Mozilla and friends

Initial Comment:
webbrowser.py in svn trunk seems to take user's GNOME  
configuration into account when selecting which  
browser to launch.  That's good.  
  
What isn't good IMO is that it appears to try the  
Mozilla variants before that, thus ignoring the  
user's configured browser if a known Mozilla variant 
is installed.  
  
I'd suggest rearranging the first two blocks of  
register_X_browsers() so that the gconftool-2 block  
comes before the Mozilla/Netscape one. 
 
(Note that this is just from skimming the code; I 
don't have a svn trunk Python available, but was 
checking whether https://bugzilla.redhat.com/173275 
would have been addressed upstream already.)
