I think it's not very likely that that feature will be included. Thunar 
is trying to be user-friendly and many people are not very accurate with 
a mouse. They'd double click on the background while trying to open a 
folder. It takes a second or two for most people to re-orient themselves 
when a window resizes seemingly on its own.
