Close refers to clicking cross. The window can be closed by killing with 'top'. Unable to reproduce, but occurs randomly?

You can still kill the app with 'kill -9 <pid>'. The lines from 'top' you posted aren't Thunar, but the thunar-vfs-pixbuf-thumbnailer-1. Build Thunar with --enable-debug=full (configure/autogen.sh flag) and when it hangs next time, attach gdb to it and post a backtrace of all threads here.
I am relatively new at Linux, I had downloaded the SVN from a pacman repository. (I'm using Arch Linux). How do you attach GDB to a thunar window when it hangs?
The GAIM website provides a short user tutorial for GDB: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php Attaching GDB to a process is done via "attach <pid>" on the GDB prompt.
I wonder if the latest updates to libexo solve the problem. I used to be able to cause thunar to hang regularly, but after updating libexo from SVN today, I can't make it hang anymore.
Hm, indeed, I didn't think of the icon view layout problem here. But with your patch the problem should be fixed. Clement, please update to the latest SVN version of libexo and see if the problem is still present.
Moving to 0.5.0rc2.
Clement, can you try with RC1?
(In reply to comment #7) > Clement, can you try with RC1? > Interestingly, I have been using Thunar continually since the bug report and I can say that it has worked flawlessly since then. Strange stuff. I haven't done anything to fix it.
Ok, so I'll mark this one as WORKSFORME. Reopen this bug report or file a new one, if you should be able to reproduce the problem with a later version.
