That's not really what I would call a clean way to set defaults. But as
pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago by  Michael Mauch:

  See
  <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.galeon.user/3234>.

  In short: create a .desktop file in /usr/local/share/applications (look
  in /usr/share/applications for examples) and run
  update-desktop-database.

I don't know how I should do, should I want to create *personal* (rather than
system) default, but is at least practical for little systems and worked
very well for me. Still I couldn't understand where to find specs on all the
fields I was supposed to fill in, but googleing a bit I could survive...
