The situation described from a user-perspective:

1. Installing Xubuntu
2. Booting into Gnome
3. Download a file with firefox
4. Right click after it has finished and choose 'open containing folder'
5. You're seeing thunar now.
6. Add the deskbar to your panel. Right click, choose options and make sure 'search file and folders' had been selected.
7. Type /home in de bar and hit [enter].
8. You're looking at thunar now.
9. Choose 'search' from the locations menu
10. Type the name of any folder in your home directory
11. Double click the folder as it is listed as the result
12. You're looking at thunar gain.

- I can understand they want to change the firefox-association (since its not a gnome-app)
- But deskbar and desktop-search should stick to nautilus: they belong to gnome.

Interestingly, when I do a:
$ grep directory /etc/gnome/defaults.list

I get this as well: (no thunar listed here!)
inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
