If thunar can handle that, and the user installed thunar, is it surprising that is does that? From what I know, apps can say what they handle and that's it. Policy is decided by the user, or the sysadmin who modifies the system wide settings of these associsations. So I still don't think thunar is at fault here if it handles something it can handle. If it does not integrate well with Places or does something badly, I agree. Similar things can be said about many apps in a mixed desktop environment. For example installing nautilus on an xfce system and running it, takes over the desktop (default behaviour) and file manager roles. People complain repeatedly on the xfce ML but that's how it is supposed to be: policy is not up to the app. Can we ask make nautilus not take over the desktop and have a --with-desktop as an opt-in option? I don't think so :) I'll notify thunar upstream, maybe there is a solution, or indeed this is not intended behaviour. If it annoys people we could override this I guess. It's just that I am not sure it is 'correct'.
