Right, a huge commit and especially bad for bisecting. Honestly, at the moment
I do not really have an idea what could be causing this, though I have some
suspicions - and I want to stress that these are only hazy suspicions -
regarding the changes of the GFileMonitorSource stuff and how events are
processed, though mutex locked.

These are good observations. What these issues have in common is that they are
executed by thunar io jobs, and we have made changes to that in recent thunar
versions to fix file information reload/update bugs. Maybe these somehow
conflict with the new glib implementation. Again, these are only assumptions.

Perhaps an older thunar version - 1.6.4 should be ok, later ones have other
similar crash issues and hence are no good candidates for testing - is
unaffected, though it will of course have the update/reload bugs.
