Thunar works when I run the amd64 version of OpenBSD with xfce, but when I run my Sparc box, an old Blade 100, then Thunar no longer works properly. It's probably an OpenBSD issue, guess I will live...

Reinstalling Solaris 9 on Sun Blade 100
For the past ten years I have owned a blade 100, and I had Solaris 9 running on it.
