More modern GLib APIs like GAppInfo (in the GIO library, I think Nautilus uses
it if you need sample code) are able to make use of alternative ways to start
.desktop files (like DBusActivatable), although if the .desktop file only has
Exec= then they will still have to fall back to the equivalent of what you're
doing now.

I'm surprised by that: this is how e.g. gnome-terminal-server can leave
processes started like "devhelp & disown" running after the gnome-terminal
itself has exited, and that works fine for me.

Please show me what the systemd Journal says?

> The bug is not only triggered by .desktop files. As well anthing else opened within thunar will be killed. ( E.g. I opened a libreoffice document )

Anything that starts a long-running child process of Thunar will be affected.
