The way I look at this is:
1. Thunar is a GUI file manager.
2. Thunar allows you to launch applications by double clicking on them
using a GUI rather than opening a terminal and using a CLI.
3. Command-line options are CLI features.
4. People who want to pass command-line options should use a CLI to do so.
We're dealing with the common case here. Running an app from a GUI with
command-line options is not common. The app (presumably a GUI app)
itself should have a way of handling the same functionality through --
you guessed it -- a GUI. If it doesn't, the app is broken. Thunar
shouldn't have options and extended functionality to fix broken GUI
apps. If it's not a GUI app, why are you launching it with a
general-purpose GUI?
