Thunar has a slight delay when first opening (from 3-15 secs)

RESOLVED: FIXED

I'm using openSUSE 12.2 x64 with XFCE.

After logging in (XFCE), when trying to open Thunar File Manager for the first
time there is a couple seconds delay (3-15) before it actually opens.

Once I've started Thunar, any subsequent launches are delay free.

I noticed that my Network Monitor plugin on my panel starts having some
incoming/outgoing traffic before Thunar starts. You can only see this strange
traffic on the wlan0 (wireless) interface, and not the eth0 (wired) interface.

If I disable the wireless interface, then try to start Thunar, the delay is longer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Login using XFCE desktop
2.Start Thunar File Manager by any means
Actual Results:  
Thunar experiences a couple seconds delay while wireless network is doing
something before starting.

Expected Results:  
Thunar should start almost immediately without waiting for the wireless network
to do something.

It doesn't matter if I disable wireless, Thunar still has a delay the first
time I start it up.

I have no idea if this has anything to do with the wireless interface but I
thought I'd mention it because it's the only thing I can see that Thunar is
waiting to finish doing whatever it is doing before Thunar launches.

When trying to launch Thunar after the first launch with a delay, there are no
delays after.

This is a delay in the network:// location, which has been fixed in 1.6.

Hello,
I'm also experiencing this or similar bug even with Thunar 1.6.3.

I've tried to do some research and I've found some troubles in tree view initialization. 

Here is pastebin of backtrace: http://pastebin.com/ATg8izV0

I'm seeing problem in calling possible blocking function thunar_file_load in GUI init. I think that this causes the problem.

...
...
thunar_file_load.constprop.4 ()  
thunar_file_get ()
thunar_tree_model_init ()
....
....
....
thunar_tree_model_get_default ()
thunar_tree_view_init ()
