Going off topic here since the paste behavior of the terminal has 
nothing to do with thunar, but....
Why would it be inconsistent for a program to parse the text/uri-list 
before pasting !? I think in all cases a terminal should replace the 
\r\n sequences with spaces before pasting, this is the only sensible 
thing to do for a terminal to paste text/uri-list. On the other hand, 
when the terminal does _not_ use text/uri-list and the copy-paste target 
defaults to text/plain (I assume that thunar can copy/past text/plain 
targets ?) than it should paste the text "as is" -- after all we might 
try to paste to an editor in the terminal.

To get back on topic: _if_ thunar can copy paste as plain/text and _if_ 
that is what happens with this particular terminal -- it would be 
thunars responsebility to give some text to the terminal. No need there 
to append a \n to a single uri.
