This is still present in 12.10 and still has to be fixed quickly in my opinion. Modifying /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount has three clear downsides; it has to be done on every machine after every clean install (so basically twice a year on all your computers); it puts an ugly broken-file icon with the text "network://" in the side pane (which simply looks amateuristic), and local changes are overwritten on every update of gvfs-backends. Nautilus, on the other hand, works fine without modifying any file. Why can't Thunar act the way Nautilus does? Clicking the network icon in Nautilus will render the short delay; not the initial startup.

Thunar eventually appears around 20 seconds later (est.), usually accompanied by the following error popup: "Launch Error" The folder could not be opened Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. In the accompanying instance of Thunar, the "Network" item is missing from the side pane shortcut view. Depending on how long I've waited, usually the second or third Thunar launch attempt comes up very quickly, and the "Network" shortcut is present in the side pane.
