Hi,

I am using xarchiver on my embedded devices, because it is tiny and
working well together with thunar(-archive-plugin). Unfortunately it
seems unmaintained for long time. To change this I started some
development and collected pending patches from buglist. From what I
see, the following bugs should be fixed:

* Bug 5757 - missing call to fclose
* Bug 5187 - Drag and drop fails if destination folder has spaces in its name
* Bug 4939 - While extracting a multi-volume RAR archive , each time I
try to click "Cancel" : the X server crashes.
* Bug 5427 - Add .xz .tar.xz .txz support to xarchiver
* Bug 5509 - Crashes when trying to open a 7zip archive

to review see pull request below (still subject to rebase - need some
further tests/check further bugs and want to add support for
*.ipk-files). When finished, is there a chance that these patches lead
to 0.5.3 release? In case maintainership is the only problem: With a
bit initial support I would stand up to do further maintaining - I
think xarchiver is worth to have a future.
