Hi Yves-Alexis.

Thank you for the quick reply.

> Just to be sure, are you *certain* that it's Thunar which runs there?

Quite :-) I know the looks (plus the new Nautilus design is sooo ugly,
GNOME Commander too different, mc, well ...;-). I checked with ps, too,
just to be sure what is running:

andreas  29044  0.1  0.5 132664 18356 ?        S    22:14   0:01 thunar
andreas  29107  0.3  0.4  43756 14560 ?        S    22:14   0:01
/usr/bin/Thunar --daemon

Looks inconspicious to me.

"which" points to these if I ask it for thunar and Thunar, respectively:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      6 Okt 14 19:12 /usr/bin/thunar -> Thunar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 780724 Okt 14 19:12 /usr/bin/Thunar


I did a reinstall of the thunar package yesterday, just in case.

The "preferred application" for filemanager is set to Thunar (I also
tried selecting it there manually to be /usr/bin/thunar %s).

What I find exceptionally weird is the fact that it works from the
starter in the toolbar (until the homefolder, bin, or other folders on
the desktop have been opened clicking on them (using Thunar). I don't
see where the two actions are differnt (starting the application using
the starter vs. opening a folder like ~ using the application thunar).

/usr/local/lib has the folders
python2.5  python2.6  python2.7  python3.1  python3.2  site_ruby
only.

Doesn't look like anything gtk/glib-related to me.
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/sbin
are empty, /usr/local/share has nothing looking relevant (fonts, locale,
some applications' folders).

$PATH = /home/andreas/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games

and nothing related in ~/.bin either.

BUT:
----8<----
andreas at halucigenia:/etc/default$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgtk-3.so thunar

Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in
the same process is not supported
aborting...
Abgebrochen
---->8----

The libgtk2.0-0, libgtk2.0-bin and libgtk2.0-common packages are
installed, because many programs still depend on them. But I do not find
the .so-File of libgtk2, so I cannot try thunar with preloading that.

By the way, just in case it provides a hint: mcedit lost (most of) it's
default keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+S for saving, Ctrl+C, Del, etc.).
Weirdly, some like F3 for "find next", F5 for "reload" and a couple of
others involving function keys are still there; but this is going to be
a different bug report ;-).

Kind regards

Andreas
