Hi!

Thanks to the Debian User Spanish community I found the solution.

This bug affects Thunar and others filemanagers and also avoid to 
shuttdown/restart the machine vía XFCE while using LightDM as session 
manager.

The bug is related with cgroups and you can find some info here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760281#56

The solution:

Update cgmanager y libcgmanager0 to version >= 0.33-1

In Debian you can find the packages here: 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cgmanager/  (SID contains 
cmanager 0.33-1 but not  libcgmanager0 0.33-1 yet).


To make it working you must add this parameter to kernel: 
cgroup_enable=memory .

You can do this every time you starts the machine, but you can do this 
permanently doing this:

Edit the file:

/etc/default/grub

Find the line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet elevator=noop"

an add the parameter cgroup_enable=memory at the end of line, inside the "".

Here the result:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet elevator=noop cgroup_enable=memory"

Basically, you must add the cgroup_enable=memory at the end of the line 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT whatever it was.

We must save the file and update the grub using this command:

update-grub2


Reboot and it will works fine. You can mount/unmount devices from Thunar 
and you can shuttdown and reboot the PC from XFCE and from the LightDM 
login screen.


I hope this helps anyone who has this misterious problem. ;)
