[xubuntu-users] Thunar short cuts - preferences file?

For the local user there's:
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml

We use xfconf-query to change the default video CD player to VLC using
the following command:

xfconf-query -c thunar-volman -p /autoplay-video-cds/command -s 'vlc dvd://'

You could probably do something similar for thunar itself, but I'm not
sure what the options would be after

xfconf-query -c thunar -p

Hope this helps a little bit,

Charles
