Alexandre,
Do you know where in the code the priority is set? The if have dolphin, use
dolphin for desktop items, else use konqueror for desktop items? I would like to
patch that for archlinux builds. That way I could still provide dolphin, but
have the desktop items open in konqueror.
As a test, I just removed dolphin from the system and the desktop item do open
in konqueror now. That is the way I want it by default. I've grepped tdelibs and
tdebase for dolphin, but turned up nothing but the dolphine machine hardware in
the admin dirs.

I don't know why we bother with d3lphin. Beta software.

Hi!
The default behavior of TDE is to open the desktop icons with Dophin if Dolphin
is installed. If Dolphin is not there, it will be open with Konqueror.
Like Dolphin or not, the problem is in the way it is treated. In the TDE Control
Center, there is a place where you can choose the default applications for
things like email, web browser, ... This is where TDE should have an option to
let the user choose the preferred file manager.
When I work a lot on files, I usually use Midnight Commander, but when I simply
want to choose pictures in a folder or just want to launch a document fast, I
prefer Dolphin and its simplicity. Its side-panel with file previews and
informations is well-made. But yet I have to agree that Dolphin appeared at the
very end of KDE 3 life cycle, so it is still very basic, especially when
compared with Dolphin on KDE 4.10. It is completely bug-free, but is is very basic.
Dolphin is great and not in the way of the users for simple operations, but it
is not the best file manager for working heavily with files.
