Today I installed the Xfce4 port on FreeBSD-6.2-STABLE. Seems quite a pleasant change from the olde fvwm2 I've been using for ages. :-)
Problem is: Thunar hangs at start. This is the same problem I noticed 2 weeks ago when I tried using Thunar standalone under fvwm2. When I use the desktop menu to create a new File Manager, nothing happens for about 30 seconds, then a window pops up saying: chris - File Manager which has two white panes on a light gray background. Creating other windows does likewise. Same if I start it from a command line. Top show: 882 ?? S 0:00.76 /usr/local/bin/Thunar --daemon This is the same behavior I noticed when I installed Thunar as a standalone filemanager under fvwm2 a couple weeks back for my non-geeky GF. Worse, I can't ^C quit it, ^Z background it, or even "kill -9" it. If I try thunar --quit it hangs for a while then reports: Thunar: Failed to terminate running instance: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
