====== Thunar - How to temporarily disable gfvs ======

Attention:  this also disables communication with xfconfd, thunar will start with default settings !

Start thunar without gvfs support:
  export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=
  ./thunar/thunar -q;./thunar/thunar
  
re-enable gvfs:
  export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus
  
More information on how gvfs is used in thunar can be found on this bug: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14812
