Add package to Xfce

[Andrzej]

Since it only affects xfdesktop, IMHO the best solution would be to 
implement this fallback within xfdesktop itself. No overhead of python 
(would likely be more than thunar itself), no extra executables and DBus 
hooks. On the other hand, we could just keep this feature optional and 
have it available when Thunar is installed. Nothing wrong with that either.

Are there any standard file manager APIs? I imagine 
"org.xfce.FileManager" was added because nothing suitable existed at 
that time. Xfce4-desktop-service is falling back to running xdg-open.
