Thank you for your report, but what you have written is actually a feature request, and not a bug. As long as 'gksudo thunar' does open thunar as root, then the software is functioning correctly.
If you wish to have this feature implemented, you would need to lobby with upstream Xfce developers. ** Changed in: thunar (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- There is no way to switch a thunar window between super user mode and normal user mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
