Why do I have thunar file manager? How the heck did that get on here?
I noticed Thunar File Manager in my "System Tools" menu all of a sudden!
How the heck did this happen? I use gnome and gnome only comes with Nautilus, right?
I never pacmaned Thunar onto my system!
.... lemme see the logs...

Hmmm, I don't see why it got installed. I have no idea how it got on my system. What the heck!
Oh well, not that Thunar is bad or anything. Just wierd because i didn't put it on here!

You could try "pacman -Qi thunar". It should tell if it was installed as a dependency and probably which packet took it in.
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

Do you have squeeze installed? That pulls thunar as a dependancy.

Your pacman log will help too. In fact, if you'd looked there first, this thread would not be necessary.

Can you say that with a straight face?

Re: Why do I have thunar file manager? How the heck did that get on here?
haha ok, well i think maybe my dad was playing around and installed it. lol
BUT... The wierd thing is no matter what combination of pacman -Rs** thunar I can't remove it! 
Now that's peculiar!
Oh waiit... -Qi shows it was a dependency of thunar-volman... now why would somebody have explicitly installed thunar-volman!?!?! Who'd want to install thunar-volman straight out of the blue? Can you imagine yourself typing "pacman -S thunar-volman" the day after installing arch for the very first time?... Has to be my dad
