I have two mirror hosts with scripts to backup each other. My problem occurs as trivial race condition beetwen backup scripts and X11 forwarded thunar sessions. I tried to copy file between two thunar instances on two hosts. As I wrote I have two mirror hosts so problem looked like this: - changes to file a.txt on host A - select and copy via thunar a.txt on host A - paste via thunar on host B file a.txt to a up one level directory - result was older file from host B copied to up one level directory on host B - and then mirror scripts fired up and I have on two hosts two versions of a.txt older and newer Sometimes that could lead to corruptions of files in some conditions, because paste command from thunar on host A issues command on host B like. cp src/file dst/file where src/file and dst/file are on host B. I think copy-paste, cut-paste possibility should be prevented between two X11 forwarded instances, but that shouldn't cause problems to clipboard copy,cut,paste. I think that's not only Xfce-thunar problem but other file managers too.
