I'm also suffering from this bug, so here's some workarounds I've found
on the Internet.
SO suggests the following workarounds:
* gtk-launch foo opens foo.desktop
* exo-open [[path-to-a-desktop-file]...]
* hashbang: #!/usr/bin/env deskopen
* dex foo.desktop

This is still a bug in December 2016.
Tested in Gnome on 16.04.
Commercial programmes and Wine programmes install .desktop files.And
they just end up opening gedit.

re: comment #15
In Kubuntu 16.04, xdg-open is a bash script that determines your desktop
environment (starting with the value of $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) and calls
the file opener for that desktop. For XFCE that appears to be exo-open.
So run exo-open in debug mode to see what's going on.
