Can the gdu USE flag of gnome-base/gvfs be removed from the thunar-1.1.4 dependency list? It pulls in a number of dependencies I'd like to avoid and doesn't seem to be required (thunar builds/runs without it). If not, can you please explain why it is necessary. Thanks! Reproducible: Always
No, it can't be removed. Thunar is using gvfs with gnome-disk-utility for remote filesystems / disks. It won't work without.

IMO, there should be a USE flag added to Thunar if that's the only reason. I can't imagine a majority of users requiring remote filesystem/disk support.

to clarify: The udev support in thunar doesn't do anything useful without gvfs built with gnome-disk-utility support, therefore it's all wrapped under one single "udev" USE flag.
