User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080325 Fedora/2.0.0.13-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.13
Build Identifier: 

%> rpm -q Thunar
Thunar-0.9.0-2.fc8

I'm unable to remove symlinks from the desktop in the expected way, ie, right-click Delete file or drag to trash-can.

Instead, i must open up a console and remove it by hand this way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.touch file.out
2.ln -s file.out ~/Desktop
3.try to remove file.out symlink from the desktop by right-clicking on the file.

Actual Results:  
the file manipulation options are unavailable

Expected Results:  
file manipulation options would be available, and i could delete the symlink or rename it, it.

Hi,


I've tried with last Thunar/xfdesktop release (1.1.4/4.7.2), and I can rename/remove a symlink from desktop without any problem.

Maybe this bug can be closed ?

Sure. I haven't used xcfe in a while anyway. If it's working, we can close.
