A while ago I had a similar issue. Firefox would open folders with
dolphin instead of nautilus, even though I was running GNOME and I had
set nautilus as the default for inode/directory.

It turned out to be a conflict between two DBUS service definition for
the same interface (org.freedesktop.FileManager1), and as a workaround I
created a symbolic link in ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services to nautilus'
service definition
(/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service).

As I understand it worked because services defined in ~/.local/share/
have a higher priority. See
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html#variables

I don't know if the desktop uses this DBUS interface specifically (or if
it uses DBUS at all for this matter), but it may be worth a try.

BTW the thread about "xfce4-notifyd issues" also mentions conflicts
between DBUS services.
