As others have said, udev *IS* systemd. It's the same code and configuration [1]. And if you don't reboot after uninstalling systemd (while having booted with it), I don't think your system will stay stable for much longer. I see that thunar depends on gvfs, which can use udisks or gnome-disk-utility. Which one do you have? What does portage it says when you do: emerge -pv gnome-base/gvfs If you have the gdu USE flag enabled, I recommend switching to udisks. It's possible that it will fix everything, but I have never used Xfce, so I'm not certain. Regards.
