bash-3.1#!$ thunar thunar-vfs-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the HAL daemon: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory aborting... Aborted 0.3.2_beta2 did not show this problem. this presumably enables some advanced features but not having hald should not prevent basic thunar from working as before. 0.3.2_beta2 looked very interesting, look forward to seeing latest developments. thunar looks like a very good stand alone FM. I hope it's not going to require large ammounts gnome baggage just to start. This would go against it's semi-light identity. Presently a good compromise between IceWM and gnome/kde. regards
c/ --with-volume-manager=hal/ --with-volume-manager=none/ my bad. Hangs head in shame.
