Cool, thanks!  I noticed the xfdesktop patch, and your patch removes the 
g_thread_init() call on startup.  That's required when built with 
thunar-vfs support -- how do I get that behavior back?  Or does the 
module runner always init thread support (not really a good idea if the 
plugin doesn't need it; since some locks compile out when not linked to 
libgthread).
