Oh yeah, this one works! :D  It fixed my problem: finally, I got
Nautilus opened on double-clicking desktop folders, instead of Dolphin!
Many Thanks, Simon! :)

Yes, I think so too. I'm gonna look into this a little more, because I
don't know that much about dbus and how it works. It's probably
responsible also for those others gnome's deamons running in my Plasma
session.

So I'm going to read that thread too. Maybe, if this dbus-related
issues are quite frequent (at least in this dual-DE scenario), it could
be worth a mention in the wiki? Just a suggestion/proposal for the
high-skilled guys who read this :) .


I'm having another trouble, but this time is about QT-apps looks on
Gnome, so maybe it's better discussing to a new mail-thread.

Thanx again!
