Since there are quite some questions about support for hal/dbus/fam/... in Thunar, It might be (very) useful to show the build configuration in the version information, like 'xfwm4 -V' does.
Comment 1 Nick Schermer editbugs 2006-12-12 08:16:08 CET
This could also be added to the about dialog.

Unfortunately that adds several new strings, and looks ugly.
Comment 3 Nick Schermer editbugs 2006-12-22 08:12:30 CET
It's indeed ugly, I know. But many people wonder if Thunar was building with dbus/startunotify etc (esp. from binary distributions).

You can also echo this content to README.buildconfig and distribute this with the package. This way you can add it in a sane way when you want to break some strings again. Duno, just an idea.
