Well I filed the bug so obviously I'm in favour.

Test it like this: I change my def. app from firefox to epiphany.
Everything changes: when i click on links anywhere in gnome, epiphany
pops up. But when I click on the panel, I get firefox.

The whole point of having the preferred applications preference tool is
so that the user doesn't have to do the work to change from one browser
to another, or one email client to another. It kinda contradicts that to
make the user remove and add the icon on the panel. What the preference
tool does already is really useful, but it would be more professional if
it went the whole hog, and changed the panel launcher too.

(IMHO)
