I had a similar problem at one point: 
https:// links opened in Mozilla and http:// links in Galeon. 

It turned out that GNOME was treating "https" as "unknown" in the
Internet services-- 
Open the control center, open the file-associations tool, go to the last
category, (Web Services or whatever it is) and look in the "Unknown
service types" one to see if there's anything there.

Hope this helps...

&gt; &gt; Something like the following commands should get you going (untested

&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command 'mozilla %s'

&gt; &gt; $ gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/enabled true
&gt; 
&gt; OK, did all that. However Gnome seems to have decided to ignore
&gt; anything I say to it. The gconftool-2 tool does correctly set 
&gt; .gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/%gconf.xml (NOTE: at the
&gt; moment I'm trying to get http working again, before moving on
&gt; to https). I can verify this via:
&gt; 
&gt; gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers
&gt; 
&gt; However if I look at it via gnome-control-center, I just get the
&gt; same old values as before and no amount of clicking, typing, closing,
&gt; opening, restarting etc. makes any difference.

Well, sounds like an issue not related to Evolution at least. ;)

Have you tried setting the value using the Gnome Control Center and
grepping for that string? Where does it end up?

GConf daemon and some Gnome settings daemon, IIRC. But I am not sure
about this. It actually is Gnome 2.4, right?

Have you ever tried running a Gnome Desktop? Does it work then?
