Let me try that again...sorry about the previous, chopped email.

Benedikt Meurer (thunar upstream) said in a ml thread that he'd like to
get this done for next xubuntu release but as usual no promises.
fusesmb means using the command line, what we want is something like
nautilus' behaviour.

If that does not happen in a few months we may need to promote something
from universe like the xffm or the python tool mentioned.


If you follow the instructions at
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread?t=304131, fusesmb works right out of
thunar - just like Nautlius' behaviour.  And very fast.

The other alternative is
pyNeighborhood.sourceforge.net<http://pyneighborhood.sourceforge.net/>,
a Python app.  This also allows browsing and mounting of CIFS shares.

If have written a couple of blog posts about this at
http://grumpymole.blogspot.com.  It is a popular topic among Xubuntu users.

Warren
