Hi, thanks for the feedback. On Xfce upstream bug report (
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15088) there's also an ongoing
discussion. For now they renamed the file so the file conflict is gone, but
the service name conflict is still there.

Right now, Xfce should start Thunar daemon by default, so it should grab the
service name if it's not already taken. But in other desktops, depending on if
you want to use Thunar or not, it might be a problem.
