In conclusion, I think it is arguable whether xrdp should create that
directory. IMHO, the behaviour is correct.

But in any case, this is not a bug, and even less an important one,
because the creation and use of the directory as a FUSE mount point is
not what prevents the users from seeing other mounts in Thunar.

Even if xrdp created a thousand fiels and directories with random
permissions somewhere in the home directory, this should not prevent
Thunar or gvfs from finding other mount points, fiels or directories.

Please report to the Thunar or gvfs maintainers that Thunar or gvfs
break on an unreadable, random directory/mount point in the user's home, because
that is exactly what happens and causes the issues for your users.

I would be glad, if, as DD, not as reporter, you could advice me on
whether to keep this bug as a wishlist item (ā€˛should not create a
directory in $HOME) or close it as invalid, because creating any random
directories is not supposed to have side effects and breakage exists in
Thunar/gvfs.

Cheers,
Nik
