How can I set Conkeror as my default brower?

I use the latest Archlinux and stumpwm as my window manager with some Gnome goodies on the side (gnome-power-manager, gnome-settings-daemon and networkmanager applet). I tried to make Conkeror my default browser. I tried gconftool-2 and changed the /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http(s) to conkeror %s with no luck. From what I understand Gconf is migrating to GSettings in Gnome 3 but I am completely lost as to how to configure it. I logged in to a gnome-shell session and tried to change the preferred applications but the only available choices are FireFox and Epiphany. I've being googling for the past 2 hours without luck and resorted to the hardcore solution of symlinking /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/conkeror. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
