[Thunar] Gtk3 porting - preparation step

[André Miranda]

Hi Vladmir,
Every help in the porting effort is more than welcome!
Currently there is unmaintained work[1][2], you can setup a personal
repository on GitHub and use them as a start point.
Many components and panel plugins have been ported, they are also good
references.
However I suggest you talk with devs on #xfce-dev so they can give you
better hints than me.

Cheers,
André Miranda
