When clicking an executable (chmod +x) file in Dolphin, it runs it instead of using the associated program.
This might be the desired behaviour in some cases, and might not be in others: a preferences option should be
provided to configure this behaviour.

Konqueror doesn't behave like this, actually opening the file with the registered application. It's good to
have it as a workaround, but with this issue fixed I and others could use Dolphin exclusively.
