Same way on both installs.


as user (me)

su -  <enter>

Password: ********  <enter>

root

thunar&   or plain   thunar  <enter>

The Rawhide is a Fedora 16 that I changed to Rawhide that would have
been Fedora 17 to a Rawhide that would have been Fedora 18 to the
Rawhide that will be Fedora 19.


Perhaps I need a fresh install?
