Monitoring Slackware’s irc channel has always been a pleasurable experience. Most of the time it is also extremely informative. Yesterday on #slackware someone reported that Thunar doesn’t automount usb drives under i3 any longer. It also applies to some other window managers. The solution involves adding dbus-launch –exit-with-session to your .xinitrc:
# Start the window manager:
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/i3
else
exec /usr/bin/i3
fi
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/i3
else
exec /usr/bin/i3
fi
