The full saga is in the linked bug,
Bug 1394927 - Dolphin takes over the desktop folder in GNOME in F25 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394927

Cliff's notes:
As the title suggests, by default dolphin ships a dbus activation file at
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.dolphin.FileManager1.service

problem is that this file is offered unconditionally to all desktops, not just
plasma.  So, it can sometimes intercept org.freedesktop.FileManager1 dbus calls
in gnome, for example.

Workaround is instead of relying on the dbus activation, autostart 'dolphin
--daemon' in plasma sessions only, that will listen on that dbus interface.  In
practice this works to solve that problem well... modulo this side-effect issue
with session management.
