Actually, I meant it the other way around. I'm fine with using
xdg-open as default, as long as we have a sane fallback (be it
gnome-open or any other means). This way, we don't have a hard
dependency on xdg-utils.
Please keep in mind, that we can't know about all the other distros.
So I'm very conservative when it comes to add a hard dependency on
xdg-utils for the deskbar-applet plugin.

Cheers,
Michael
