User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de-DE; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: I connected from my desktop PC a ssh session to my notebook with "ssh -X". On my notebook whether Xfce nor X11 was started. I started thunar on the ssh prompt. The program started normaly and is displayed on the screen of the sssh client machine. But the icons are not displayed correctly. Instead of showing the icon theme, thunar showed grafical garbage like the Xfce mouse from the Xfce bootup screen. If I start thunar again, the correct set of icons will be used. To reproduce this, I have to reboot the remote computer (a re-login with ssh reaches not out). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. (Re-)Start the computer without loading Xfce or X11 2. Login to the computer from a remote machine using ssh -X 3. Start thunar with "thunar &" If you exit thunar and restart it again, the problem disappears. Actual Results: Instead of displaying the right icon set, pieces of other images will be shown. Expected Results: Displaying the correct icon set. In my case the bug creates a little bit of artwork - because instead of showing the icons, it displays pieces of the Xfce mouse. This looks very nice - if somebody is interested in the screenshots, feel free to ask me... I'm using gentoo linux. The Programm is optimized with -O3.
Looks like an X forwarding issue, or maybe something in GTK+, but definitely not a bug in Thunar itself, because Thunar doesn't care if it runs on X11.
