Hi Ahau,

No not an icon problem (using Tango). Automount also doesn't work.

I may have installed gvfs after building Thunar and thunar-volman so I 
rebuilt and reinstalled them but no improvement. I also went over the 
build order list on Robby Workman's site and had all but a few 
installed. I installed those from sbopkg except gnome-disk-utility which 
isn't available there. If you have a txz for that it would help.

Thanks,

Bob S.
