   The built in file browser thunar seems to need the gvfs-smb to be   
   installed before it can use the smb://server/share/path   
      
   I know dolphin and pcmanfm handles it too, think they also uses the same   
   gvfs-smb and they will pull in a lot of new packages as they are part of   
   QT framework instead of the gtk that xfce is based on.
