I installed xfce, and now gnome uses thunar sometimes. When I open something from the places menu, it opens in thunar. When I click on a desktop folder, it uses nautilus. How do I fix this? I haven't noticed any major difference between the two, but it would be better to use the same one all the time.

Uninstall thunar? Reinstall nautilus?

I can't reinstall nautilus. When I try to remove it, it can't because of dependencies.
Removing thunar would bring up the same problem.

You could try "pacman -Rdn nautilus", that leaves the dependencies in place, and removes the system-wide config files. You might still have some config files left in you home directory, though. After that, reinstall nautilus. Why do you need both, anyway?

In the open with tab, I see autorun prompt, konqueror, open folder, and open folder with thunar.
It was set to autorun prompt.
When set to open folder, places still opens thunar.
Can I edit the command behind the autorun prompt?

I added nautilus to the list, but places menu still opens thunar, no matter what open with is set to.

EDIT:
before deleting anything read my least message 2 posts under this
@samC this maybe a little offtopic.. but why pacman "-Rdn" instead of only "-Rd" ?
-n, --nosave
Instructs pacman to ignore file backup designations. Normally, when
a file is removed from the system the database is checked to see if
the file should be renamed with a ".pacsave" extension.
@reccoon1400
rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
resets your gnome configuration to default (move them instead of deleting for backup purpuses)
I think that since gnome have it's program configs stored on gconf (re)moving ".gconf" and ".gconfd" could make the difference...
not sure anyway...

I think you're looking at the wrong pacman option
-n, --nosave remove configuration files as well

@heleos
oO this is strange...
-R, --remove
Remove a package from the system. Groups can also be specified to
be removed, in which case every package in that group will be
removed. Files belonging to the specified package will be deleted,
and the database will be updated. Most configuration files will be
saved with a extension unless the --nosave option is used. See
Remove Options below.
and
REMOVE OPTIONS
-c, --cascade
Remove all target packages, as well as all packages that depend on
one or more target packages. This operation is recursive, and must
be used with care since it can remove many potentially needed
packages.
-k, --keep
Removes the database entry only. Leaves all files in place.
-n, --nosave
Instructs pacman to ignore file backup designations. Normally, when
a file is removed from the system the database is checked to see if
the file should be renamed with a ".pacsave" extension.
-s, --recursive
Remove each target specified including all of their dependencies,
provided that (A) they are not required by other packages; and (B)
they were not explicitly installed by the user. This operation is
recursive and analogous to a backwards --sync operation, and helps
keep a clean system without orphans.
I found a bug in the "code" (:P)
just kidding...
@reccoon1400
anyway I have to correct my previous message, 'cause I found this :
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=48836
in ".local/share/applications/" gnome/xfce/pcmanfm/I_suppose_everything save it's "file associations"
try to take a look there...
@everyone
(I'd like to place here too a note "before doing anything read my previous post.. this would be funny )
sorry for the confusion..
