All I would like to say is that Xubuntu and Thunar are awesome as is, right now. Love `em! Thanks Linux devs!

I saw that comment. It seemed odd, and not credible. So much so that the only way to address it without amplifying it into a scurrilous rumour would be to address it directly with the person who made it. If they were talking nonsense but that led to a whole thread of people talking elsewhere about Thunar being canned then what you have is FUD. By seperating it from its shaky source and amplifying it into a general, open question, you turn it into FUD. It could do considerable and unecessary harm.

So sorry if I appear rude. But best be firm with rumours at source and stamp the cancerous stuff out before it spreads.

The question of xfce and xubuntu's future more widely is one that is becoming more pressing since Gnome introduced plugins. But that's another matter. (Or perhaps it's not?! Mwuah ha ha haah!!!)... and one I have been meaning to ask about. So I'm glad you brought it up in a roundabout sort of way.

mb.

    I am quite pleased to hear Thunar is fine - I like it quite well.

    No FUD here.
