Another comment from the downstream report:

"One way to solve this for XFCE and other DEs would be (I think) having an
exo-file-scheme.desktop file which would carry "MimeType:
x-scheme-handler/file;" and an accompanying script/program which would dispatch
the call to "exo-open --launch FileManager ..." if running under XFCE or plain
"exo-open ..." if not. I checked that the latter indeed calls the appropriate
application.

Another way could be to find out if XFCE needs to have "MimeType:
x-scheme-handler/file;" defined at all, and if not, delete it."
