I know this is an old bug but thought I would share some info. Not sure if it is related but this exact problem occurred with the last few releases of xubuntu and thunar. The problem is related to gvfs and the network automount. Every time thunar was opened for the first time (from desktop, panel, apps menu, anywhere) it would take 30 seconds or more to open. >After that it was fine until you logged in again and the first open would do it again.
The automount flag in the file /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount needed to be changed from 'true' to 'false' AutoMount=true to AutoMount=false It is talked about here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Thunar just a little over half way down the page under the heading "Solving problem with slow cold start" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Team, which is subscribed to Cairo-Dock Core. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/514410 Title: Shortcuts plugin doesn't open nautilus window on first click Status in Cairo-Dock : Core: New Status in GVFS: New Status in Nautilus: New Bug description: Hello Team! Cairo-Dock version: 2.1.3-0rc3 Compiled date: Jan 27 2010 01:33:18 Running with OpenGL: 1 OpenGL version: 1.4 Mesa 7.6 OpenGL vendor: Tungsten Graphics, Inc OpenGL renderer: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Q35 GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3 x86/MMX/SSE2 Video Driver: xserver-xorg-video-intel2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2.1 I'm using GNOME with Compiz. From time to time I facing issue with Shortcuts plugin. On first time use it can't open folder for me. When I click second time on same or other shortcut I getting 2 nautilus windows opened. This issue is not consistent from time to time and I'm not sure that it is easy to reproduce it. What I'm sure is that this issue was happening much frequently when I used current stable release: 2.1.2. With current rc the issue appear less frequently, but looks that it's broken again in 2.1.3-0rc3. Debug log is as always attached. Thanks in advance!
