Thunar 1.4.0 and Fluxbox on -current: no trash or automount usb devices
Just synced the latest -current updates and received xfce 4.10, thanks PV and crew! On my machine, using Fluxbox, Thunar does not have a trash can and cannot automouont usb sticks. When using xfce rather than fluxbox both of these features work as expected. Anybody else finding this or have I done something stupid?

Have you been able to automount USB-sticks using Thunar under Fluxbox before? I usually mount USB-sticks using the command line under Fluxbox (ie # mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sdb1 /media/memory)
Update:
Same here, no automount.

I think you haven't installing gvfs as Thunar using it for mounting (via udisks) and accessing virtual FS such as trash:// and network FS.

But when I use xfce as an environment thunar has trash and automounting, on the same system fluxbox + thunar does not. Very curious....

I don't think gvfs is the problem. I checked and I have gvfs installed, but I can't automount USB-sticks using Thunar under Fluxbox or Xfce as a regular user.

OK looks like modifying ~/.xinitrc to:
Code:
# Start the window manager:
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startfluxbox
else
exec /usr/bin/startfluxbox
fi
fixes the issue here, perhaps there is a better way?

I re-ran xwmconfig and I have trash and network when running Xfce as a normal user but no automount yet I have enabled automount in thunar-volman and it works as root. When automounted in Xfce as root, USB-sticks are mounted on /run/media/root/KINGSTON. How the heck do I solve this?
Update:
Automounting an USB stick in KDE works for both root and user (i.e /media/KINGSTON)

I don't think there is a better way. Have you perhaps tested the other non-XDG window managers to see if they work similarly? That would be nice :-)

so weird... i have automount working on my old laptop using XFCE 4.10
no special tunning, just install fresh
probably it's because a new installation. The bug only occurred when upgrading from previous version?
