Thanks alot for that theory !

I tried with devhelp and gedit, both get killed on thunar kill, as any other
application started from desktop. ( I just double-click on a simple default
starter )
This did not begin very promising, however for the sake of completeness I took
a try for KillMode=process.
And indeed, now desktop applications are not killed any more \o/ *yay*

That's not exactly following your reasoning, but nevertheless a pleasant
surprise ;)

You think we should just commit KillMode=process as a fix .... or somehow
change the way thunar starts it's child processes ?

As far as I can tell, thunar uses xfce_spawn_on_screen which itself uses
g_spawn_async to launch child processes. I did not see anything related to
DBusActivatable so far:

(thunar_file_execute)
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4ui/tree/libxfce4ui/xfce-spawn.c#n319
(xfce_spawn_on_screen_with_child_watch)
