Observation: Thunar 1.6.3 ("File Manager" from menu) on Xubuntu 14.04 handles write permission to inserted USB flash drives inconsistently: * I am able to create a nil file on the flash drive with Thunar and edit it. Clearly, the flash drive is not read-only. * Using Thunar, I cannot copy an existing file (E.g. ~/.profile) and paste it on the flash drive - "destination is read-only" (not true!). * However, in a terminal window, `cp` with the flash drive as a destination succeeds. I tried this on drives by different manufacturers and with differing capacities and on two different Xubuntu 14.04 installations. There might be a configuration change for Thunar to allow paste to flash drives. If so, this should be enabled when Thunar is installed as this behaviour is what users expect. Note: I created the FAT32 partition with `gparted` on Linux. I also got the same results after creating a FAT32 partition using an MACOSX system.
