--- Comment #4 from a at trwnh.com ---
Hmm -- it seems this is a bug in Sway not properly exporting the env vars that
I have defined in my config. I did echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE and the response was
"tty", despite me having "exec export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland" on startup.
Upon manually setting the env var, Thunar now works properly as best as I can
tell. But only in that one terminal -- trying to launch Thunar from rofi
crashes again.

As far as Thunar is concerned, it seems to me that there is still an oversight
in the logic -- there are more desktops than gnome or xfce. As for the
variables that are set globally by default, there is DISPLAY=:0 which is set
for Xwayland compatibility. Attempting to run "thunar --display=:0" loads a
working instance of Thunar, albeit without the  custom GTK theme I've set.

For now, my workaround is to instead set the env variables some other way, e.g.
via /etc/environment or by aliasing "sway" to include exporting env vars.
