This bug was fixed in the package thunar - 0.9.99.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
thunar (0.9.99.1-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian pkg-xfce UNRELEASED (r2643), remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/control:
      + use our Vcs-* fields.
      + build depends on gtk-doc-tools.
      + thunar-data: conflicts/replaces thunar-doc, libthunar-vfs-1-dev
        (<= 0.9.0-3ubuntu1).
    - debian/patches:
      + 06_fix-menu-icons.patch: correctly displays themed icons even if there's
        a dot in the middle of the filename (see Xfce #3614).
      + xubuntu-fix-desktop-files.patch: various fixes to desktop files:
        . make thunar and thunar-bulk-rename appear under Accessories not System
        . make destop-file-validate happy (remove 'Encoding' and 'Application;')
        . add 'OnlyShowIn="XFCE;"' to Thunar-folder-handler.desktop so that
          GNOME defaults to Nautilus and not Thunar.
  * Bugs fixed by this new release:
    - "Querying Thunar /proc directory causes hang" (LP: #162448)
    - "Thunar does not respond after second window is opened" (LP: #163587)
    - "Thunar does not show if drive is mounted" (LP: #181117)
    - "xfce desktop does not respect freedesktop desktop settings" (LP: #220318)
    - "thunar swaps behavior of forward / back (next / previous) buttons"
      (LP: #234217)
    - "Xubuntu 8.04 X64 Thunar randomly freezes - hidden files/tree view"
      (LP: #293839)
    - "Opening multiple instances of thunar causes system freeze" (LP: #317920)
  * debian/patches/02_fix-font-thumbnailer-desktop-file.patch: add missing keys
    in the font thumbnailer's desktop file (LP: #318290).
