** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Thunar freezes after a period of inactivity.
+  * The process has to completely stopped so the user can resume usage.
+  * Users have reported the issue to happen more frequently when files have 
been modified in the current directory.
+  * Several affected users have reported the issue resolved with this patch.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Open Thunar and wait.
+  * Use another application to create files in the current directory.
+  * After some time, the application will become unresponsive.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * The patch eliminates a deadlock in Thunar's file monitor mechanism, so 
regression potential is small.
+  * Since Thunar will no longer freeze over time with this fix, other bugs 
could become more pronounced. 
+ 
+ [Original Report]
+ 
  Thunar keeps constantly freezing when I leave it inactive for a while.
  
  I haven't seen it freeze while using it, but when I use some other
  application for a while and switch back to Thunar window it is often
  completely frozen and I have to kill it. Zero CPU usage, window not
  responding. This started to happen a couple of weeks ago.
  
  I have the exact same problem in two different installations, one on
  virtual machine on Windows, other on a Asus Zenbook laptop.
  
  Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
  Thunar 1.6.10-2ubuntu1
