Setting the default web browser

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

Evo 3.8.3, Fedora 19, KDE 4.10

I'm embarrassed to be asking this, but how do I set the default browser
for embedded URLs to Chrome if I don't have the Gnome Desktop installed?

I know this is a FAQ, and I've even answered it myself in the past, but
the rules seem to have changed. There is no longer a
gnome-control-center app in the Fedora repositories, and the xdg* stuff
is correctly set to google-chrome, as is
$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

There seem to be far too many competing ways to set up default
applications.
