You must have a problem the way you log into X.  IMHO what is happening
is that the user doesn't have its umask set properly, unless he
launches a session shell.

Open a terminal and run Thunar --quit.  Then restart Thunar from the
terminal and try to create a file and a directory.  It should work as
expected.  At least here it works fine.
