Bug 1665577

I suspect this is caused by this code:

thunar-application.c

/* TODO: [GTK3 Port] Check if there's a cleaner way to register */
/* this extra dbus name (besides org.xfce.Thunar) */
static void
thunar_application_dbus_init (ThunarApplication *application)
{
    /* Do not atempt to register if running as root */
    if (geteuid() == 0)
      return;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ why?

    application->dbus_owner_id = g_bus_own_name (G_BUS_TYPE_SESSION,
                               "org.xfce.FileManager",
                               G_BUS_NAME_OWNER_FLAGS_NONE,
                               thunar_application_dbus_acquired_cb,
                               thunar_application_name_acquired_cb,
                               thunar_application_dbus_name_lost_cb,
                               application,
                               NULL);
}

Excellent work! Would you be able to file this upstream? If not, I can file it.

Please file it. Thank you.

Tried... unfortunately delay is still there. I'll try to diagnose and will add a comment about my findings.

Thunar-1.8.4-1.fc29 has been pushed to the Fedora 29 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

This is not fixed. Reopening.

I tried removing those lines and it works.

Tested patch

Scratch build:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=32906690

%autosetup does apply the patches that exist, it looks like this one got lost somewhere?

Did this ever get filed upstream and commented on there?

Forgot to file this upstream. I have filed this now.

Upstream think removing the code will break sudo launches.

See comments on the upstream bug.

URL to upstream bz: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15149

How about the following?

Add another option, something like --register-FileManager, which explicitly says to register "org.xfce.FileManager" even if uid==0, and add it to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.FileManager.service:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.xfce.FileManager
Exec=/usr/bin/Thunar --gapplication-service --register-FileManager
SystemdService=thunar.service

I see upstream commited a solution... does that meet your needs?

Denys, you had commented on the upstream bug report which I understood as agreeing with upstream's solution.

If yes, I can add that patch to Fedora and rebuild.

I suspect this is fixed. Please reopen if not.
