Yes, I shouldn't use this function of Thunar, neither should any other user on this linux systemto prevent the OS to come to a grinding halt.!?!?! But this is not the way Thunar should behave and since this is a -dev list, I reported my experience I'd thought I found a serious bug here! Actually, I wonder how this is possible in the first place. How can Thunar as a regular user application be able to cripple the whole OS? Even if a user application would want to, the OS should prevent something like to happen. Nevertheless, it happens.

I found the quickest way to get Xfce working again was to delete the .config and .cache directories and start over. But that file doesn't appear in any of the backups I saved either.

[Thunar-dev] Thunar 0.9.3 locks desktop when mouse - Create Document...
Hi On Fedora 10, I have XFCE 4.4.3 with Thunar 0.9.3. (It's not until Fedora 11 comes out, that it has XFCE 4.6). When I pop up the menu with a Right-Mouse-Click and let Create Document - get the focus, then Thunar starts consuming A LOT of cpu time, giving the impression the desktop is frozen. After a long time, the submenu will appear, which is the full (long!) listing of my home directory. Why does it create that listing in the Create Document submenu? And why my mouse becomes totally responseless while Thunar is busy learning about my home directory? I think something is wrong here.

I think your “Template” folder is your home folder, so every file in your homedir is treated as a template for a new file. If you have a very full homedir it might be really bad. I don't know exactly how to fix the problem but only creating a Templates folder in your homedir might do the trick. You might want to edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and run xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update too.

I hope Thunar has a different behaviour with Xfce 4.6 !?! It's even worse than what I described before: if I do not kill Thunar soon enough after its lock up, my whole system grinds to a halt; keyboard/mouse stop, screen is frozen, no remote login possibleI can only power off and on again. All this happens using Thunar as a regular user!!! I've checked output to /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log while Thunar screws my system, but nothing appears there. Thunar is really doing something awefully bad here. Rob. ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
Re: [Thunar-dev] Thunar 0.9.3 locks desktop when mouse - Create Document...
I found a solution to make it work again: I created the folder $HOME/Templates (I deleted this empty folder some time ago when cleaning up my home directory, not expecting this could cause havoc...!?!?!). In the $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs file I modified the Templates setting from $HOME to $HOME/Templates; and I ran xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update. I logged out of Xfce and logged in again. Then everything is OK again. However, the problem in Thunar is still there: If I accidentally remove the $HOME/Templates directory, and the Templates pointer instead points to another (huge?) directory, e.g. $HOME, then Thunar is capable of completely freeze my entire system. How is that possible? This is the worst thing a file manager can do ;). Rob. ___ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
