So far I've been quite pleased with XFCE however . . .

After so many years of using Nautilus, I'm really missing the option of tree 
view in the main pane. Having it in the side pane is somewhat useful but still 
requires extra clicking to see directory contents. :( I experimented with 
Nautilus on XFCE but it trashes the theme styling.  There may be a way to fix 
that but I'd rather work with native XFCE apps anyway if possible.  Any chance 
of this feature being integrated into Thunar? Or can a UCA accomplish this? 
Sorry for the very basic questions . . . just trying to get a foothold on the 
new learning curve.  Thanks.

Hello,

What do you mean by 'trashing the theme styling'. Are you sure you have a GTK3 compatible theme ? (like Greybird [1])

You can use Nautilus within Xfce as the default file manager just fine. From my experience, if you have Xfce 4.10 or Xubuntu 12.04 (which ships Xfce 4.8), it won't steal the desktop from xfdesktop (that is, manage the desktop on top of the Xfce desktop !)

And if you have Xfce 4.10, opening a directory on the desktop will bring Nautilus, as long as it is the default file manager (it can be set in the settings manager => Preferred Applications => Utilities).
