Hi, no and I neither have got Xubuntu installed, nor am I using Xfce at the moment. However, my first guess was, that it might be related to gvfs. I don't have got gvfs installed, but both Thunar and Nemo are able to access the Desktop folder without the gvfs dependency on my machine. Taking a look with 'strace' might help, if Thunar suffers from a delay. Without a delay it is very confusing, due to the amount of output, that at least I get on my machine. If you run 'top' from command line, does it show something when the delay happens? What kind of folder are on your desktop? Real folders or links or mount points? Is the Desktop folder part of the root directory or on another partition? What output do you get, if you run ls -hAl ~/Desktop/ from command line. Is there a delay if you run cd ~/Desktop/a_folder/ and/or ls -hAl ~/Desktop/a_folder/ ? Just for testing purpose install spacefm/spacefm-gtk3. It's a very customizable file browser that doesn't have a dependency to GNOMEish bloatware helpers such as gvfs. sudo apt update sudo apt install spacefm-gtk3 Do you experience the same delay issue when using spacefm? You can remove spacefm by running sudo apt purge spacefm-gtk3 Alternatively install 'spacefm' instead of 'spacefm-gtk3', but start by testing 'spacefm-gtk3'.
