[Thunar-dev] * ala konky

Just had a chance to check out KDE 3.4. Wow, some huge improvements over 
3.3. Somethings that might be of consideration.

Easy of network browsing: automatically detect samba/NFS servers and 
prompts for username/password. (Something like network neighboor type 
deal).
Shortcut to drives: This will show what the drives are (not just a 
shortcut to /mnt)
Navigation buttons: (Like firefox, just the basics) Back, forward, 
refresh, home, maybe the location bar could be to the right of the icons 
(ala firefox)
A trash shortcut with the favorites (for DnD and view).
Mounted drives (any drive, maybe unmounted too) that is mounted might 
want to be a temporary favorite (except for the main drive)

I've switch from KDE to XFCE because of bloat, but it looks like 3.4 has 
taken care of much of the memory bloat, but not of some of the other bloat.

Some of the above was taken from looking at the new konquerer, but not 
all. The new konquerer looks better (at least the initial look) than 
previous version.
