Hm, what does "not installed properly" mean? As far as I see, they are 
installed in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/:

$ ls -la /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
total 48
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Jul 13 12:04 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Jul 13 12:05 ..
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   55 Jan 17 22:23 dhcdbd.service
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   59 Mar 20 22:43 named.service
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   72 Jul 13 12:05 org.xfce.FileManager.service
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   67 Jul 13 12:05 org.xfce.Thunar.service

coming from

$ rpm -ql Thunar | grep "\.service"
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.FileManager.service
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.Thunar.service

What am I missing here?

Thanks,  Nick.
