Ubuntu Karmic Koala, here. My experience:
I installed Google Chrome to give a try.
Now, when I click GIMP help, it opens the page via Chrome. For sure my System > Preferences > Preferred Applications > set default browser way leads to Firefox but GIMP had its settings as <sensible-browser %s>. And the command <sensible-browser> opens Google's Chrome. Now that -from this report- I know about the situation but for many people its very weird to see lets say Chrome as if its some kind of "default browser of Ubuntu".
