Edit Summary: No need for pre-4.4 packages. Thunar and xfce 4.4 have been stable for quite awhile now. Installation couldn't be simpler.

  ====== Installing on Gentoo ======
  
- For all Gentoo users that want to use and test new releases of Thunar and Xfce4 there exist easy solution. Gentoo developers prepared a set of ebuilds that could be used, additionally there exist an unofficial package with all xfce4-4.4.0_beta2 ebuilds. So it is Your choice what ebuilds to use, here are instructions how to use them both:
+ Thunar will be installed when you emerge xfce4:
  
-    - Packages download
-       * If You want use Portage ebuilds you have to only use **emerge --sync** command. 
-       * If You want to use unoffical ebuilds You have to first download them from [[http://dev.gentoo.org/~moloh/ebuilds/|devspace]] site, untar and copy all files into a Portage overlay. Instructions howto create Portage overlay can be found on [[http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds|Gentoo Wiki]] and as usual in [[http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2006.0/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=5|Gentoo Handbook]]. These ebuilds are only prepared for ~x86 and ~amd64 architecture, but as new revisions will show on site, this would change.
-       * As a bonus in package there are few plugins for new xfce-4.4 panel and thunar. Try them out!
-   - Install ebuilds
-       * To use downloaded ebuilds You have to first unmask them. All packages are hard masked and use unstable keywords. List of all masked xfce4 packages can be found in ///usr/portage/profiles/package.mask// file, You can copy suitable content from this file. Instructions how to unmask and use unstable packages can be found in [[http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2006.0/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3|Gentoo Handbook]].
-       * To install packages use **emerge xfce4** command. If You want install thunar only, instead of <del>**emerge xfce4**</del> use **emerge thunar**. Thunar can work with previous, stable release of xfce4 (i'am only sure of it in case of unofficial ebuilds).
+   # emerge -avt xfce4
  
- Notes:
-   * List of packages from ///usr/portage/profiles/package.mask// file (You can copy it to /etc/portage/package.unmask and /etc/portage/package.keywords files)

+ You may want to read the Gentoo [[http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xfce-config.xml|Xfce Configuration Guide]] to learn how to properly install and configure Xfce and Thunar.
+ 
+ If you run some other desktop environment or window manager you can try installing just Thunar with ''emerge -avt thunar''. This will pull in some Xfce4 dependencies, as Thunar is designed for Xfce.
