OS: Fedora 17 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.launch thunar with root privileges 2.click /proc on the left pane 3.wait for thunar to display the content of /proc Actual results: the file browser displays the "Loading folder contents ..." message but nothing appears in the right pane ( after 15 minutes wait time ) Expected results: being able to read the /proc folder content in the right pane The bug has been filed in the Fedora 17 bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873029) The suggestion of the Fedora developer was to file the bug in the xfce bugzilla.

Works perfectly fine here, try with the latest stable release first. If it still happens there, please reopen.
