I am currently not at my machine at home but was able to reproduce a similar condition on a workstation also running Debian/sid. Starting with a "clean" (no Thunar configuration files) file: $ find ~ -iname \*thunar\* | xargs rm -rvf removed `/home/bengen/thunar.strace' removed `/home/bengen/.cache/Thunar/metafile.tdb' removed `/home/bengen/.cache/Thunar/thumbnailers.cache' removed directory: `/home/bengen/.cache/Thunar' removed `/home/bengen/.config/Thunar/thunarrc' removed `/home/bengen/.config/Thunar/accels.scm' removed directory: `/home/bengen/.config/Thunar' $ strace -o thunar.strace thunar & $ tail -f thunar.strace | grep '/proc\|fgetxattr' In Thunar, Select from menu: View / Side Pane / Tree Expand "File System" in Side Pane Expand "proc" ... here the madness starts: Several files in subdirectories of /proc are accessed periodically, about once a second. In my test run, that meant about 100 different files (see below for the complete list). This behavior looks like an infinite loop to me. Speculation: If something like this happens with more files on a slow machine (like my VIA C7-based machine at home), this could well explain a high level of CPU activity and Thunar becoming unresponsive and unusable.
