Why 'sudo thunar'? Are you trying to run it as root? If you just run 'thunar', does it work OK?

Isn't there another way to run it as root?
Using 'xhost +' is the usual thing to do when you need to run GUI apps as root.

well, it seem it has to do with installing xdm, before installing xdm i was able to 'sudo thunar' without a problem?
