Thunar is already compiled with gamin on Xubuntu (which you said you were using), so don't bother to compile it (let alone the kernel) by yourself. If the desktop does not refresh automatically, it must be a bug. Could you explain a bit more in depth which actions cause the problem? Dragging/Deleting icons on the desktop works just as expected on my own Xubuntu 6.10 system. luzi _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
