            Bug ID: 14739
           Summary: Xfce Desktop File Management Errors as Root
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.8.2
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Desktop
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: davamaca at gmail.com
                CC: benny at xfce.org, hjudt at xfce.org
  Target Milestone: 1.8.3

When running under Xfce as 'root', if you attempt to copy and paste
  a file to the desktop, it will fail with the following nofication:

    "Failed to activate service 'org.xfce.FileManager': timed out
     (service_start_timeout=120000ms)."

  Further, if you attempt to delete a file from the Desktop, it will fail,
  or if you attempt to rename a file on the Desktop, it will fail.

  You can move a file around, and you can open a folder or a file successfully,
  but you can't do anything that involves writing/updating the directory.

  It is important to note, that if you bring up a Thunar instance, and select
  the Desktop from the sidepanel, you can successfully perform all of these
  operations from within the Thunar instance.

Happens under Slackware-current and Arch Linux. Under Slackware-current,
it happens under 32 and 64 bit versions.

Under Slackware-current it showed up when Thunar 1.8.2 was introduced.
