As a quick response to Walter's important question as I see freezing of PcManFM is not really file system dependent. For me it freezes with NTFS, FAT32, FAT16 (USB sticks) and EXT4 file systems (Lubuntu installed) either. Tested hardware background is a HP Elite 8300 Pro and HP 6300 Pro. Both of the machines uses Pentium G processors with intel Q75 and Q77 chip sets which are nearly the same.
With previously used version 16.04 LTS everything worked perfectly without any error.
Since I know PCManFM is much more than a file manager in Lubuntu systems, it is the base of the whole system handler, Desktop...etc. That's why it is strange when file manager window freezes every other component work along.
As an addendum, using the new Swap policy - when the system handles the swap as a file, the GIMP graphics editor closes suddenly without any sign. Maybe the swap handler can not satisfy GIMP's quite big swap needs. But I don't know. Using the old Swap method, when I use a part of the HDD as a swap area (about 30GB for 12GB Ram installed) GIMP seems to work well. I don't know whether the new Swap handling affects PCManFM crash story or not.
