Note that this does not work with xfdesktop, which relies on the D-Bus
interface provided by Thunar and cannot be configured to open a
different file manager instead. 

In the future, we're planning to move the desktop feature into the file
manager in the form of an extension that can be replaced with
alternative views (e.g. desklets or statistics about your machine).
