thunar fails to start

[Jon Boden]

When thunar starts on ubuntuBSD, it gets stuck indefinitely. From manually interrupting it on gdb it seems that it is stuck in some libdbus communication routine:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/bin/thunar
^C
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

This is the output of running thunar with G_DBUS_DEBUG=all

Hi

I received this information from Steven Chamberlain (Debian GNU/kFreeBSD developer). I think it could be relevant so I paste it here.

I will try what Steven says and report the results.

Hi

BETA5 has been released with a working Thunar (or just can just dist-upgrade)

Regards
