I was able to fix this for some common operations (albeit ungracefully)
by disabling DBUS and adding the following line in a few places:

  thunar_standard_view_reload ( THUNAR_VIEW (standard_view));

Patch attached for good measure, no idea why it doesn't work with DBUS
enabled. If I had to wait for 4.10 for this I would probably lose a
combined week's worth of time waiting for things to delete =)
