Acutally, I used the information above, but apparently it's different on 
my system (unstable):

edit ~/.gnome/Gnome

change:
default-show=gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"

to:
default-show=/usr/bin/opera --remote "%s"

(for opera) should work for netscap, galeon, etc...

Like Karsten, I don't use Gnome window manager. Just the terminal. I prefer
Window Maker ;-)
