I just upgraded to dbus 0.50 (which is actually a slighly modified 
version from the 0.36.x series) and things work now, but only if Thunar 
was compiled against that specific dbus version. When I installed 0.50, 
but used Thunar that was compiled under 0.33, the fm plugin wouldn't 
work. Although I admittedly build the xfce rpms myself, there was no 
dependency problem when upgrading dbus (because I guess only the libdbus 
version is checked). I don't know if this can be helped but maybe it 
would be good if Thunar could handle the situation of different 
dbus-versions.
