  Sounds good!  How about this for the non-MacOS portion of the
default-browser determination:

DEFAULT_BROWSER = "command-line"

if sys.platform[:3] == "win":
    del _browsers["kfm"]
    register("windows-default", WindowsDefault)
    DEFAULT_BROWSER = "windows-default"
elif os.environ.get("DISPLAY"):
    if os.environ.get("KDEDIR"):
        DEFAULT_BROWSER = "kfm"
    elif _iscommand("netscape"):
        DEFAULT_BROWSER = "netscape"
