It's worth pointing out that this is/was a *kernel* bug not a XFCE/Thunar bug as it is the kernel responsible for how /proc behaves (and I'm seeing exactly the same issue on a headless RHEL5 IBM TSM backup server at work presently, which was how I stumbled across this report).
The "fix" that Xfce applied was to not monitor /proc which is completely unrelated to the original bug reporters problem and should not have closed this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162448 Title: Querying Thunar /proc directory causes hang -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
