SUMMARY

Dolphin FileManager1 fails to launch a new application window. I am not on KDE but am running the dbus-service and the `plasma-dolphin` systemd units. I first got a `kf.gio.gui` error saying that `dolphin` was not a valid program. So I added dolphin to the `plasma-dolphin` systemd path. Now it fails silently. However, it successfully opens up dolphin when an existing window is open. This makes me believe it is an issue with `Dolphin::openNewWindow` and the call to `KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob`. I tried looking into `KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob` but that is where I got lost.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press "show folder" in Firefox with no existing dolphin window open
2. Nothing happens

OBSERVED RESULT

Nothing occurs.

EXPECTED RESULT

Should successfully open up a new dolphin window.
