Setting chromium as default not recognized by chromium

[Kai Jauch]

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

After starting chromium for the first time I told it to be the default browser. Opening links from other applications correctly opens them in chromium, but it tells me it isn't the default browser.

If I tell chromium to set itself as the default browser, the default browser in "preferred applications" is set to custom (command "/usr/lib/chromium-browser %s") instead of the chromium entry. Manually selecting "chromium" in "preferred applications" doesn't solve this.
