I can confirm the fix still works, at least on Mint 17.3 Rosa XFCE 32-bit. I 
made some little converters actions that NEED to be used in network shares (and 
the desktop) and then I realised it would not work there.
  
Steps for people like me that would waste hours on this:  
01. Enable source-code downloads on apt-sources (can be via gui)  
02. sudo apt-get update  
03. sudo build-deps thunar  
04. mkdir $HOME/src && cd $HOME/src  
05. apt-get source thunar  
06. cd thunar-1.6.10  
07. wget https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=3482 -O patch3482.patch  
08. try the patch: patch --dry-run -p1 < patch3482.patch  
09. if no errors, run for real!  
10. patch --dry-run -p1 < patch3482.patch &>/dev/null && patch -p1 < 
patch3482.patch || echo "Failed"  
11. The usual way would be: ./configure + make + make install, but we know 
better, right?  
12. Create deb packages: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b  
13. If all went fone you will have 4 new .deb packages in $HOME/src (1 level 
above, cd ..) 
14. I just double-clicked the file libthunarx-2-0_1.6.10-1~14.04_i386.deb and 
chose REINSTALL  
15. Reboot (NEEDED) and it works  
16. No need to reinstall the other packages  

I created this on a virtual machine and deployed the .deb in 2 real
machines with success. All of them Mint 17 Rosa XFCE 32-bit. If I can I
will try to generate 64bit and Ubuntu debs as well, but someone else
could use the setps above to do that.

I am attaching my .deb file here. But AGAIN: this is for Mint 17.3 Rosa XFCE 
32-bit! Not sure it would work anywhere else and breaking thunar would be bad! 
In theory, should be fine for Ubuntu 14.04.5 (Trusty Tahr), BUT I HAVEN'T 
TESTED!
  
Main reason I am doing this is because this has been pending for years.
