ACLs and Thunar

[Alex]

Hi Paul,

I did not find any reference regarding POSIX-1003.1e in the thunar code
(neither in Nautilus).

Not sure if thunar needs to add specific support for it, or if that
should come from the underlying OS ? Possibly related to gvfs ?

Which thunar version is used on the Slackware machine ?

You could try to compile the same thunar version from source on the
debian machine to check if it is a thunar issue at all.

If so, please open a bug for it on https://bugzilla.xfce.org

Thanks & Cheers,

Alex
