 +==== Living with Thunar ==== 
 +in order to overcome the missing bookmark feature i started to use gigolo. i select the mount at startup option on all bookmarks that i enter there and i created a symbolic link in my user home directory <code>cd 
 +ln -s .gvfs/ Shares</code> 
 +so now i can see all my bookmarks in a subfolder called Shares in my user home.. that works fine for me
