open location should work with thunar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

currently opens nautilus. is there an open desktop standard for default
file manager? can we somehow avoid making this something that has to be
hand configured?

If you build with libgnome it will open with nautilus,
If you build with libexo it will open with thunar (it should, haven't tried it 
much
though),
If you build with both libgnome and libexo it will default to nautilus.
If you build with none of these libs it will launch nautilus from command line.

Maybe it would make sense to make this configureable if linkage is build with 
either
both of the libs or none of them.

this makes packaging kinda difficult. it means we would have to make packages 
for
both gnome and xfce which is a pain.  i think we should take this out of the 
build
process and maybe use xdg-open.

Sounds good, I didn't know xdg-open existed.
