I also get the "opening two windows" problem when opening a terminal, not always but sometimes. So I was always under the impression it was an xfce bug, not a thunar bug per se.
As for the delay on first startup of thunar, this only happens the first time after logging in, which I rarely do, so it doesn't really bug me.
When I encountered this problem after installing Xfce 4.8, it turned out that GVFS (or whatever Gnome component is responsible for handling URI schemes in Thunar) was trying to find a handler for "smb://" and was timing out after a few seconds having not found anything. Installing the samba package fixed it for me.

Would this search cause a disruption? When did it happen? Every time you launched a thunar?

Just the first time. GVFS still runs as a background process after Thunar is closed, which would explain it. According to the Xfce Bugzilla report SqdnGuns linked to, it would cause a disruption because Thunar waits for GVFS to complete its search for URI scheme handlers before displaying the window.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

Looks like we might be having a problem with the weather plug-in similar to the difficulties we had late last year.
I've tried removing it and reinstalling it. I've downloaded a fresh copy and installed it. I've tried it with and without a proxy, but no joy. Like the last time this happened, it will search for a location and find it, but it won't update the data.
Anyone else ran into this problem since the first of the month?
Thanks.

By the way, if you want to build your own xfce-4.10 before the real thing shows up in -current, I did an update of Robby's xfce-4.8 work (because I wanted it for armedslack) that incorporates most of the xfce-4.10 patches in Arch, is synced with what's in the latest -current, and adds a few more extras. It's here. Builds ok on 13-37 too.
As for the weather plugin, bug 9078 confirms that it stopped working on 1 July, and bug 9085 moans about 4.10 compatibility.

Reason: get tarball from github
Hi Slackers,
just to know, XFCE 4.10 now has a aerospap like feature. Is this pseudo tilling feature also available using keyboard shortcuts? I find it very convenient in KDE for example.
Thanks and best regards.
yesterday and it appears someone has replaced all of Ralvex's packages with their own. Interesting that they didn't change the date on the .txz files, but did change the date on the text file. Whomever it is also rebuilt Xfce 4.10 without many of the packages Ravlex used and now you have to download and install them separately.
