--- Comment #3 from Bakhelit at gmail.com ---
I just tested this with Thunar 1.8.4-1 (running as root) on Debian Unstable
with libglib2.0-0 version 2.58.3-1 and it seems that the behavior is still the
same. Specifically, I currently have the following in DEVICES in the Shortcuts
Side Pane (when no USB, network or other devices are connected):

File System (this is ok -> non-root Thunar shows only this entry)
Filesystem root (this is LVM for "/" and it is redundant)

Because the test system does not have separate partitions for "/boot" or
"/home" these are not present.

The only way I found for hiding these devices is to hide them using the right
click context menu in the Thunar Shortcuts Side Pane. This adds <property
name="hidden-devices" type="array">...</property> to
"~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml". But since UUIDs are
used, it is not easily possible to create a general config for multiple
systems.

Can some other device ID types (e.g. LVM volume name) be used in the
"hidden-devices" property in "thunar.xml"? If not perhaps adding support for
other device ID types could be easier than adding some "automatic clumsy
filtering". Since this is just a minor cosmetic issue for me it would be
sufficient if I could eliminate it by manually changing "thunar.xml" config so
it works on all my systems.
