   I found the solution here:   
      
   Quote: Some people still have problems with Thunar taking a long time to   
   start for the first time. This is due to gvfs checking the network,   
   preventing Thunar from starting until gvfs finishes its operations. To   
   change this behaviour, edit /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount and   
   change AutoMount=true to AutoMount=false   
      
   I don't know what that AutoMount=true did. Before, when I plugged an   
   iPhone into USB, which uses gvfs, it appeared in Thunar but didn't auto   
   mount it. It's no different afterwards. That may have been governed by a   
   USB automount option, however: I think I may have turned that off for   
   removable drives.
