Logout and shutdown as normal user in Debian Topic is solved

Pcmanfm and Thunar are supposed to be lighter - I believe Nautilus is pretty "heavy".

Pcmanfm has split screen but no explore network button. Thunar has the network button but no split screen.

I had notes about all of the ones I tried but deleted them all eventually... Nautilus had the "feel" I was hoping for, but is just short of 500M. PCManFM is 300M and I believe my notes may have said that it didn't have a tree pane. Thunar is 111M and I recall there being some other issue but don't remember what. I like the looks of qtfm but can't seem to get it working. As you might guess I couldn't care about skins, fancy icons, previews of files, ftp filesystems, or integration with anything. All I am interested in is a tree pane with an easy way to access smb shares (which some might do in the tree pane while others might use a "bookmarks" feature of some kind).

Hmmm, I figured I would try Thunar again and it did not have any icons like this

but adding the Tango theme and stuffing it in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 worked fine. All told it is 123M in size. Now let's see what it can do about smb shares...

Turns out the navigation pane can have a tree OR bookmarks but not both. So I added the Windows shares to fstab right under my ~ and they are easy to access in Thunar.


Man, I can't believe SeaMonkey is turning out to be one of the easiest parts of this project.

Yes that is the destiny of everybody working with minimal installs. It happened to me too.

I think I had to install tumbler too.

Thunar is good at mounting your network shares, so it sounds right for you.
if it is not in your thunar panel you can still access your samba shares with (CTRL+L)

Code: Select all

smb://your_samba_server
