Personally, I think we might do well use thunar and catfish in line with xubuntu. xfce has a team that seems to me to be working hard to keep improving their DE. In general there are no surprises for the new user. The problems thunar has had in 12.04 and 12.10 have been fixed. I have not found any problems using thunar as my daily file manager on 13.04 test installs. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
