My other problem is possibly unrelated, but any actions I perform

mounting of USB drives, which seems to be a fragile area for many
HAL users, works perfectly for me.
Thanks in advance,

Just solved this one, quite silly it was ;)
It seems Thunar is not built with FAM (File Alteration Monitor)
support, hence it does not know when it needs to update folder views
(or the desktop for that matter). So, simply rebuild with FAM:
# cd /usr/ports/x11-fm/thunar
# make config
(Select FAM from the options dialog)
# make deinstall reinstall
Restart your X session. It will work then.
Aha! I will try this when I get home - thanks. Anyone know why Thunar
does not default to using FAM/gamin? gamin doesn't look too heavy.
Cheers,
James Butler
It seems the default options for Thunar do not include gamin for some
reason. Although I already had it installed anyway. If you installed
from packages, these are built with the default options, so not having
FAM support is expected.
P.S. Putting the questions list back on this
