Just my 0.02€ on this topic:
The name Thunar is good because:
a) it's another name for Thor, and so it has a meaning (I'm not in
favour of meaningless names or names like Xf<argh>)
b) people will be able to find information about thunar very easily as
there are only a few existing websites with thunar and these websites
have low page ranks
c) the name is short enough to type it in case you want to run it from a
terminal, and the name is rather unique, which eases auto-completion
(unlike xf...), except for thunderbird users, tho
We won't need a name for the masses, as most users will simply click on
the file manager icon in the panel or double click on a folder on the
desktop and don't care for the file manager's project name. We need
something unique, where it's easy to find resources -> b).
greets,
Benedikt
