Harald Judt is in charge of Thunar, but he appears to not have much spare time
at the moment. I highly doubt anyone is working on porting Thunar to GTK3 at
the moment, nor could I find anything about it in the mailing list (it would be
wise to ask around tho).

My impression is that many Xfce components are severely lacking manpower.

Hence my suggestion. Porting to Python would kill multiple birds with one
stone:

- Port to GTK3
- Fix this crash
- Fix other bugs
- Easier to use language
- Pull in more developers


I think this is getting off-topic tho. Should we move this to the mailing list?
