Do you use IBM Sametime in KDE and wonder why it won't open your chosen file manager when someone transfers a file to you?  Well, the Sametime team uses an Eclipse call to gvfs, rather than (what I thought) xdg.  The KDE control panel configures xdg, so now I know why Sametime is ignoring it. 

To get Sametime to open Konqueror, for example, use this command:

gvfs-mime --set inode/directory kde4-kfmclient_dir.desktop
