If it would work that way it would be for the wrong reasons (stop moving
since walking with a broken leg hurts).

This sounds more like one of:
- a request for gnome-www-browser to be a wrapper that takes into account
the Preferred Navigator rather than being an alternative.
- OTOH, the user doesn't have sensible-browser configured so a fix could be
to set BROWSER (not a reasonable default option); it could also take into
account the preferred browser, as configured by GNOME, still, this sounds
wrong since sensible-browser already passes the batton to gnome-www-browser,
if in a GNOME session.


So, in my opinion, gnome-www-browser should be a wrapper that takes into
account the GNOME preferences of the *user*, instead of a simple symlink.
Changing the symlink, is, of course, not an option for obvious reasons.
