I'm using Xubuntu 13.10
I've noticed every time I use Xfce and opening Thunar file manager most of the time it opens quickly, but sometimes it stalls and won't open for a while. Why is this? How can I fix this issue?

Silly question: did you try to remove saved session?
and rebootCode:rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions

Note that to do so, you will need to
- log out first
- open a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1
- log in from the keyboard
- delete the contents or move the files elsewhere
- close the console using Ctrl+Alt+F7
- log in again
I'm not sure that a reboot is needed.
If the problem persists, please try to look for some sort of pattern of activity that makes Thunar hang. Thunar hanging when first opened in a session used to be an issue about a year ago but isn't now, AFAIK.
That was the wrong advice. After running that command it removed all my files!! Now I have to transfer most of them from my backup.
Maybe someone else knows how to fix thunar. for now I'll live with it or go back to another OS!
I haven't noticed this problem in a while but a few releases ago it was caused by the default way Thunar will search for Samba shares on the network - regardless if you even have samba shares on the network.
[1] Make a backup copy of a file:
[2] Then edit the original network.mount file and set AutoMount to false:Code:sudo cp -a /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount.bak
The downside to this is if you do have samba shares on the network then when you access "Browse Network" it will take a while to find them.[Mount]
Type=network
Exec=/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-network
AutoMount=false
