That's not a problem with xfdesktop.  Either you did not compile
thunar-vfs with FAM or gamin support, or you compiled with FAM support,
but famd is not running.

xfdesktop does not support single-click.

True.  I think it's safer that way.  Unless someone can give me a better
argument for changing it than "I like it better with delete as the
default", it's not changing.

That's odd.  It's because the focus isn't returned to the desktop,
though it should be, as the dialog is indeed set as a transient window
for the desktop.  (In any case, it works fine here.)  Olivier, any ideas?
