Hi John,
Yes I'm using the default gnome-desktop-service, perhaps your setup is
missing something provided by that. The only thing I can recommend
(and maybe you're already doing this) is to launch your apps like
this:
flatpak run --log-session-bus --log-system-bus --log-ally-bus com.foo.barapp
This gives some extra debug information from flatpak and the app,
which might help diagnose the problem.
Good luck!
Andrew

Perhaps some difference in environment variables or something if it is launched via dbus? The only large factor I can think of is that I'm not in a DE but just a WM (but have e.g. xdg-open working).
