[Thunar-dev] how to tell thunar never to increase space between icons?

[Markus]

Glad it is of help to you! I feel you about the OCD - this is where
those patches came from ;)

Too bad those changes never actually made it into Thunar; I just
remembered that I already submitted those 2 patches one and half years ago:

    https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12126

    https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12153

Either I did something wrong with the reports or development is near
dead after all.


Cheers!

Markus.
