That was me suggesting that. Not because I hate Thunar, but because it 
sounded like nobody was interested in maintaing it and pcmanfm seems to be 
alternative that suits xfce well.
But certainly didn't want to start a thunar vs pcmanfm war, if there are 
people willing to maintain thunar, then there's no need for a switch for me 
at all.
Kind regards
Tim
