 while thunar does the job it is still a bit hard to get used to it as a former nautilus user.. so i prefer to get nautilus with its nice bookmarks back. here's how it's done (copied from [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6807336&postcount=4|this post]]):  while thunar does the job it is still a bit hard to get used to it as a former nautilus user.. so i prefer to get nautilus with its nice bookmarks back. here's how it's done (copied from [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6807336&postcount=4|this post]]): 
  
-  - install nautilus (in case it isn't there already) ''sudo apt-get install nautilus'' +  - install nautilus (in case it isn't there already) <code>sudo apt-get install nautilus</code> 
-  - make it your default: ''gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop''  +  - replace <code>Exec=Thunar %U'' (or similar) with ''Exec=nautilus --no-desktop %U</code> in the folowing files 
-  - replace ''Exec=thunar %U'' with ''Exec=nautilus --no-desktop %U''+      * ''/usr/share/applications/Thunar-folder-handler.desktop'' 
 +      * ''/usr/share/applications/bamf.index'' 
 +  - in ''/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop'' make shure that ''XFCE'' is mentioned in the list behind ''OnlyShowIn'' like so: ''OnlyShowIn=XFCE;GNOME;Unity;'' 
 +  - run ''xfce4-settings-manager'' and go to default applications and set nautilus as your default file manager 
 +  - edit ''/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop'' and ''bamf.index'' and change make shure all occurences of ''nautilus'' have a ''--no-desktop'' behind it
  
 +==== Automount of USB Disks not working ====
 +this only happened on one pc where i moved from ubuntu to xubuntu and kept using gdm: when plugged-in a usb stick it did not mount and when i clicked it to mount it in the gui it showed an error saying i was "Not Authorized"
 +
 +Unfortunately i did too many things at once to explicitly tell you what fixed it in the end but here are the two things i did: 
 +  - installed ''usbmount''
 +  - edited ''/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy'' and changed all ''<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>'' to ''<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>''
