To me it is a users choice which file manager he/she wants to use in a
desktop environment.
And if we are adding all to NotShowIn there is no different to OnlyShowIn.
Unless we say thunar-volman (not thunar) is xfce specific (in case
thunar can work together with other desktop volman), I don't think we
should add these lines from Xfce. And let either the user or distro do
this.
Would be good to have some input of others on this matter.

I assume this is debian packaging. As it installed to
$(datadir)/applications/thunar-volman-settings.desktop
