I think what he's talking about is that, when 'Thunar --daemon' is
running already, and you run a normal Thunar instance, instead of
starting a new process, it calls the daemon via the dbus interface to
open a new window, and then quits.  From the perspective of sitting at
the terminal, it just looks like the Thunar started from the terminal
has forked into the background.
