Yes, the same problem was reported in bug:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456026

Here is my plan:
- Drop SuSEconfig.glib2 as it exists just now (ugly bash script)

- Write and upstream a new tool with configurable set of preferences.

- Playing with XDG_* variables, force different defaults in gvfs and
  gnome-vfs applications in GNOME and KDE.

- And finally, using one-time virtual symbol trigger feature in future
versions of rpm call this script every time any desktop file is
installed.

As a backup solution (ugly, but less effort) would be modifying of
existing SuSEconfig script and run it twice.

As a temporary work-around, you can install and run nautilus, click to
Properties of a particular file and configure application which you
want.
