I'm trying to view a video over SFTP by opening from Thunar. In my other computers with XFCE this works fine, double-click causes gvfsd-fuse to map the SFTP to a folder and run it.
I can view the files over SFTP from Thunar but gvfsd-fuse doesn't run when I open the files, so normal applications can'd read the files (for example VLC asks for SFTP password because it's not mapped to a local dir).
in 'ps aux', there is no gvfsd-fuse listed, and 'mount' command shows no gvfsd-fuse mounts (these are present in the other operating systems with XFCE, for example you're supposed to get 'gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse'). gvfsd-fuse is present on the system as /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-fuse.
I tried adding a system user group "fuse" and adding my user to it, but nothing changed.
What to do?

The only way I can get it to run is if I do all of the following commands:
thunar -q
sudo modprobe fuse
/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-fuse /run/user/1000/gvfs -f -o big_writes
Afterward I can launch thunar and browse a video.
Clearly something is missing, but what is it?

If I do this command instead and restart, it seems to work:
echo "fuse" > /etc/modules-load.d/fuse.conf
I don't know why on earth I have to do that manually, but whatever.
