thunar-vfs now chdir()'s when listing folder contents to avoid inode
lookups for each and every file. Afterwards thunar-vfs chdir() to "/" to
avoid blocking a folder removal with certain file systems (i.e. smbfs).
Looks like xfdesktop doesn't specify a working directory when launching
applications from the menu.
