Pacman update broke thunar [SOLVED (with downgrading)]

I did pacman -Syu' this morning and now thunar doesn't show trash and it doesn't mount USB drive anymore. I enabled thunar-volman in settings. If I run thunar in terminal I get no error messages. Worked fine before. What can I do?

I solved it by downgrading. Had to downgrade thunar and exo.
I also had to remove thunar-volman first cause it was a dependencie. It mounts USB without it now too.

$sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/exo-0.3.107-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
$sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/thunar-1.0.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Now I also uncomented IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf and added thunar and exo so that when I do the update it will skip those two.

/etc/pacman.conf

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg   = exo  thunar
#IgnoreGroup =

Re: Pacman update broke thunar [SOLVED (with downgrading)]

Not exactly a solution but I've borked my system (laptop) with the latest XFCE 4.8, couldn't downgrade anything so I abandoned xfce and installed gnome instead. On my main computer at home, I blocked the 4.8 upgrade -> xfce4 and xfce4-goodies in pacman.conf. Lucky me that I have two Arch setups and can figure out if an upgrade is worth doing on both systems or not.
