Thunar hangs on start (worked briefly before)

[FreeBSD WickerBill]

I don't use xfce but in a KDE box there is always a configuration file in
the user's home directory (in this case it would more than likely be named
~/,thunar). If that's your case you can try deleting it and then launching
thunar should recreate it, fresh.
