In thunar >= 1.2.0 you can simply type things like "smb://MACHINE",
"sftp://USER@HOSTNAME/PATH/TO/A/FOLDER"; and so on into the
location bar
or dialog (press <Ctrl>l to get there).Depending on the distribution,
you may have to install additional gvfs packages like gvfs-smb or
gvfs-sftp
for this to work.
There is no support for remote bookmarks in thunar yet but we are
working
on adding that. This feature may or may not make it into Xfce 4.10
(thunar
1.4.x). Until then you could try your luck with another app called
"gigolo".

Hmm, just gave this a try ..
gigolo starts nautilus ,
That's weird. Have you Thunar selected as default file manager in Xfce
Settings Manager => Preferred Applications => Utilities ?
which then takes over my background and mangles my desktop.
$ nautilus --no-desktop
It works, but it's not quite as seamless as it could be. I know it's
a bit of a tricky problem, but I think there are a number of people
who would love to see it !
Thanks,
Bryant
