Thanks poc,

Your command yielded chromium.desktop. I posted my
/usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop at http://sprunge.us/P3twZB . I can't
understand it --- I never dealt with xdg stuff before because I do very little
clicking on icons.

I found no default-url-scheme-handler in the chromium.desktop file.

Thanks,
