For me at least this is still an issue when using Konqueror as default
filemanager.  If using Dolphin as the default filemanager, *and* it
responds to the `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` dbus interface (this is
the default setup in KDE AFAIK), Dolphin gets used appropriately and
everything is fine.

Having Dolphin installed and Konqueror as default filemanager will
result in Dolphin being used.

In KDE with Konqueror as default filemanager and multiple other
filemanagers installed that have a `.service` file for the
`org.freedesktop.FileManager1` dbus interface (e.g. having both XFCE's
Thunar and KDE's Dolphin installed) may/will result in one of those
filemanagers being executed.  In my case Thunar was consistently used,
until a `ln -s
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.dolphin.FileManager1.service
$XDG_DATA_HOME/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service`.

So:
* If your default filemanager actively listens/responds to the 
`org.freedesktop.FileManager1` dbus interface, it works as expected
* If your default filemanager supports `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` but 
doesn't actively listen/respond to it, it depends
* If your default filemanager doesn't support `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` 
but other installed filemanager(s) do, it's still broken
* If your default filemanager doesn't support `org.freedesktop.FileManager1` 
and no other installed filemanager(s) do (or you overrule the service so 
nothings responds to it), it works as expected

XFCE 4.16, Thunar 4.16.11
