"currently, unlike in thunar and xfdesktop, the volumes that are non- removable are greyed out. Our thunar is patched to do that, and the places plugin should behave similarly."
I feel like I entirely missed your request. Please explain. "high prio, for consistency with the rest of the default desktop" "I have just noticed there's a way to mount by clicking on the small context menu that appears on greyed out volumes. Is there a disadvantage to just mounting without showing that menu at all? That is how thunar an dnautilus behave." Let's clarify a couple things. Nautilus is irrelevant. Thunar was designed to look like GTK's open/save dialog, which on my system doesn't even show removable media. I prefer the context menu because *I* tell the thing when to mount and when to unmount. For example, I don't want to accidentally mount my external hard drive (which I find too easy to do in Thunar), kill the switch on it later, and have the filesystem end up unhappy. Now, I think there are four options on how we can reasonably close this bug: 1) Reject it as a non-issue 2) Open a bug in Xfce's bugzilla, and I'll be willing to (hackishly) make a preference sometime 3) Open a bug in Xfce's bugzilla, and submit a hackish patch for a preference 4) Make Thunar use a context menu Note that 2 and 3 involve opening a bug in Xfce's bug tracker. Try to be a bit more respectful of my time and efforts, too: take your time such that you make sense, write less typos, get all your thoughts out in the initial description (not subsequent comments), and mark something like this low priority.
