Correct.

Incorrect.  Thunar-vfs is only required if you want the file/launcher
desktop icons.  If it's not building correctly without thunar-vfs,
please file a bug.

Assuming you don't run into the annoying people who make idling in #xfce
painful.

Thanks for the praise and understanding.  We do this in our spare time,
