>Description:
By default, Thunar is built without FAM support, and thus changes to files being viewed are not dynamically updated. This is mildly annoying, especially as Thunar is used in Xfce to manage desktop icons, and it's not immediately obvious that you can press F5 to refresh the view.

This makes the default full install of Xfce from ports or packages seem buggy. The FAM implementation in question is devel/gamin, which doesn't seem like  huge dependency.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install x11-fm/thunar and x11-wm/xfce4-desktop from packages or ports with default options. Create and delete files in your ~/Desktop directory, and fill and empty the Trash, and note that the desktop icons do not get updated.
