falls back to default behavior, which is to use the desktop database to
figure out which application to use. That's how it worked with Razor which
didn't have any special handling in xdg-open (or other xdg scripts). I
think this is the correct behavior if we want to adhere to standards.

Well, it's a fix, yes. But I think it is wrong to hardwire the use of
pcmanfm-qt. LXDE-Qt should be a modular desktop system, meaning if a user
wants to use another file manager, things should still be able to work.
That is best achieved (IMHO) by letting xdg scripts do their thing without
lxde-qt components getting involved.
