Bug Description

The places plugin does not open folders in the preferred file manager; it seems to always use Thunar.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Set File Manager to e.g. Nautilus in Preferred Applications.
2) Click a folder in the Places menu.
The folder opens in Thunar when it should open in Nautilus.

A patch for this is offered here:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5754

Additionally I have adapted that to a patch which can be applied at the end of the current patch series, which I've attached here.
