Build Identifier: 

From Xubuntu 7.10 (Xfce version ?) to Xubuntu 8.04 (Xfce 4.4.2), the places plugin changed its behaviour: It does not display my separate partitions any more (1 ntfs with windows, 1 fat32 with data, 1 ext3 with the old linux). They are properly mounted from /etc/fstab to /media.

my fstab (today, with Xfce 4.4.2):

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a partitioned hd.
2. Have the partitions mounted from fstab every time the system starts.
3. Add the places plugin to the panel.
4. Click on the places plugin
Actual Results:  
The partitions are not shown in the pop up menu that appears.


Expected Results:  
The partitions should show up, just like they did before with the older version. 

I qualify the problem as a major bug because accessing the extra partitions is _the_ core feature for which i use the places plugin.
Comment 1 Diego Ongaro 2008-05-17 17:11:37 CEST
I'm re-assigning this to thunar-vfs. Places uses the thunar-vfs library for mounting and, in fact, never directly sees device names or UUIDs.

Also relevant: I believe xubuntu has and/or had some patches against thunar-vfs, so this could be contributing to the change in behavior.
