on top of that I actually *want* a generic file manager - and thunar is pretty much doing exactly that. I use gqview to manage my images already, and xfmedia integrates nicely with the new .desktop enqueue shortcut that I submitted in bugzilla, making thunar the perfect tool for me to do the base work. Type managers may be a nice idea, and they already exist! They need a plain file manager to integrate with the rest of the system instead!
