This is driving me crazy! I was away for four days and had no internet
and unfortunately chose that time to do a clean install of Xubuntu
Lucid. When Thunar stopped working I tried everything, even clean
installing another three times (one was for a sound bug that gave me no
sound).

For me, it seems to not matter what view the pane is in - detailed,
icons, or compact. I can do one operation then it is as though the pane
is empty. I cannot select anything or move within directories though
interestingly the breadcrumb navigation and shortcuts in the tree still
work. Even the mouse wheel lets me scroll the pane contents - I just
can't left or right click anything.

I tried changing all my permissions on my folders and files to no avail.
I tried thunar as sudo and that actually seemed to work properly until
that too stopped. I tried deleting the ~/.config/thunar config folder.
No effect, though if I do that AND reboot I am able to do maybe five
operations before it stops responding. And on some reboots I am able to
use left and right click for a few operations having done nothing at
all. It is very difficult to narrow down what the bug is but it
effectively makes thunar useless.
