sed -i is a gnu extension and is not present in OpenBSD's sed.

thunar hardcodes its use in thunar/Makefile.am:
thunar/Makefile.am:              && sed -i -e 's/org_freedesktop_thumbnails_Thumbnailer1/thunar_thumbnailer_proxy/g' \
thunar/Makefile.am:              && sed -i -e 's/org_freedesktop_thumbnails_Cache1/thunar_thumbnail_cache_proxy/g' \

configure should check for SED program (so that we can override it with SED=/usr/local/bin/gsed on OpenBSD) and use $(SED) in Makefile.am instead.

A way to check for it is :

dnl AC_PROG_SED is only avaliable in recent autoconf versions.
dnl Use AC_CHECK_PROG instead if AC_PROG_SED is not present.
ifdef([AC_PROG_SED],
      [AC_PROG_SED],
      [AC_CHECK_PROG(SED, sed, sed)])

AC_PROG_SED macro is available since autoconf 2.62.
