Hmm well ... the properties dialog supports desktop:/ URLs of course (works fine). Isn't it more that if we fake the URL and something KDE breaks, that something's got a problem anyway since it should be using KIO?

Down the line this causes KFileItem to return QUrls with an empty scheme(), which leads to problems in kio/src/widgets/krun.cpp's resolveURLs(), used internally by KRun::runService. resolveURLs() will determine that the app doesn't support the (empty) scheme and fall through to check whether it meets the criteria for a KProtocolInfo::protocolClass of :local (which it doesn't either) before running KIO::mostLocalUrl (which thus isn't reached, but if it were, would also balk on an invalid QUrl). Ultimately the URL isn't getting fixed up, which in the case of using an action produced by KFileItemActions::addOpenWithActionsTo will cause the subprocess to be started non-blocking (freezing plasmashell in Folder View's case) and throw up a "Couldn't launch kioexec" error dialog box once it exits.

When an app doesn't explicitly support this protocol the fallback logic in resolvedURLs() will then produce a file:// URL. This fits in with the overall approach of producing the URLs needed by the app (based on its .desktop file) in KRun, which has all the support it needs to produce local URLs from desktop:/.
