Summary: webbrowser on gnome runs wrong browser

Initial Comment:
Epiphany is set as system default, but Firefox runs
when webbrowser.open is called.

in webbrowser.py - register_X_browsers():
'gconftool-2 -g
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command 2>/dev/null'
returns 'epiphany %s'

A BackgroundBrowser with a name of 'epiphany %s' is
created.

later on open(), 
subprocess.Popen(['epiphany %s', url], ....) is called.

This throws an exception:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
which is caught, and False is returned

Solution:
in webbrowser.py function register_X_browsers(), change:
register("gnome", None, BackgroundBrowser(commd))
to
register("gnome", None, BackgroundBrowser(commd.split()))


System: Python 2.5, Linux 2.6.17, Gnome 2.14.2.
