This may be an ignorant question, but what is wrong with using the

nothing. the question isn't whether or not to use the application picker
dialog (we all seem to agree it makes sense as a last resort), but how much
we should try to _avoid_ having to use it.
Well, I don't agree. The dialog shows an autogenerated list of desktop-files.
What the user will now do is to compare the application names. The computer
can do that, too. If it currently doesn't, that needs to be fixed instead of
passing on the work to the user. The dialog might be a acceptable workarround
for the time beeing, though.
Totally 100% agree. However, there is not always a 100% match from
windowClass/windowName/commandline match to a desktop file. In these
circumstances, the dialog is used. And it should only be used as a last
resort.
