Chromium overrides prefered application settings

I am having trouble removing chromium as the default web browser in gnome. The prefered applications setting is set to epiphany, and looking in gconf all the url-handler options are also set to this. I have also used xdg-mime to set epiphany.desktop to applications/x-xdg-web-browser and set BROWSER=epiphany in my bashrc however applications continue to try to load chromium whenever they call a web browser, whether chromium is installed or not.

Thanks

Re: Chromium overrides prefered application settings

Do you have a file called /usr/bin/x-www-browser ?

I'm afraid I don't, I don't have anything in /usr/bin/ that starts with "x-*"
