35 As others have said, udev *IS* systemd. It's the same code and
36 configuration [1].
37
38 And if you don't reboot after uninstalling systemd (while having
39 booted with it), I don't think your system will stay stable for much
40 longer.
41
42 I see that thunar depends on gvfs, which can use udisks or
43 gnome-disk-utility. Which one do you have? What does portage it says
44 when you do:
45
46 emerge -pv gnome-base/gvfs
47
48 If you have the gdu USE flag enabled, I recommend switching to udisks.
49 It's possible that it will fix everything, but I have never used Xfce,
50 so I'm not certain.
51
52 Regards.
