Trying to browser to smb shares using the gnome places menu uses the wrong browser

Error something like:

Could not open location 'smb:///winsam/sharename' There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location.

Or a browser like cervisia or thunar is being used instead of gnome nautilus.

A fix that works is to add some gconf keys to define the browser for smb uri's:

gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/smb/command 'nautilus "%s"'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/smb/enabled true
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/smb/need-terminal false
