xfdesktop does not refresh

My xfdesktop still does not refresh. I always press F5. Also thumbnails are not showing on the desktop.
From the terminal I got this output:
Code: 
(xfdesktop:27976): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_file_get_path: assertion `G_IS_FILE (file)' failed

** (xfdesktop:27976): WARNING **: DBUS-call failed: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
 
Well yes, but there was a new version of dbus in ports last night. If you upgraded, it may not be running even if enabled.
 
Is not working before / after update. I made the update and still xfdesktop hangs. And before the update was hanging too.
 
Did you disable the gvfs option somewhere? I think I had this also when I did that (didn't see the point in pulling all that fuzz in).

What do you mean by « My xfdesktop still does not refresh ... » Thumbnails, when you open Thunar, or when file stores on desktop?
 
What's your version of GCC and your architecture?

About error message, it appears when you click on file or when you open new session?
 
Code: 
gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: amd64-undermydesk-freebsd
Configured with: FreeBSD/amd64 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]
 
Sorry for delay, this bug is known, there's issue with xfce4-tumbler on amd64.

Could you reinstall xfce4-tumbler with recent GCC (>= 4.7.x) ?

I compiled it with default gcc and gcc48 too. Same behavior with both of them

Ok, and if you apply this patch. First you must remove xfce4-tumbler, then update Thunar (don't enable THUMBNAILS option). I want to known if it's tumbler or not.

Currently tumbler is "cosmetic" dependance in Thunar, because in previous version (< 1.1.x) thumbnails were managed by Thunar itself, and to keep this feature tumbler was added in Makefile.

How to apply the patch? Never made it before. Just replace the Makefile with the commands of the patch?

I use devel/subversion.

1. Update ports tree:

Code: 
cd /usr/ports
svn up

2. fetch(1) patch.

3. Apply

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/x11-fm/thunar
patch < path/to/diff/file

Remove .orig file

4. recompile Thunar

After installation, you must remove patch, like that (if you use subversion) to avoid conflicts.

Code: 
svn revert -R .
 
I made it but no result. Still the same :/
Never mind. I don't want to be tiresome. I believe that this will be fixed on xfce4.12 release witch is close. For now I can live hitting F5
