<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br />

<div>It's not uncommon for users to choose another file
manager over Thunar, and we even promote it as a standard
use-case (see Preferred Apps having a default file manager
option).</div>
<div>It's far less common for users to use alternative desktop
applications or services, and I think that's what this
project identifies and tries to support.</div>

<div>I'm not opposed to adopting this as an Xfce project, as I
think there is a real, albeit smaller, need for this kind of
