I’ve just committed a patch to the default-applications capplet that converts it to use GConfPropertyEditor. This removes a lot of duplicated code within default-applications:
$ svn diff -rPREV gnome-da-capplet.c | diffstat

If anyone is currently running gnome-control-center from SVN, I would appreciate any extra testing on the default-applications capplet to ensure than no unexpected behaviour has been introduced.
Great work Thos! I just love the fact that GNOME just getting more optimized. I have been using the same old X41 for 2 years with no upgrade, GNOME runs out of the box smoothly.
