Details
If XFCE and Gnome are both installed on a system, XFCE's
"Removable Drives and Media" entry shows up in the Gnome
System Menu ("System->Preferences->Removable Drives
& Media" or so). In addition, the Gnome-related entry
show up, too. This is confusing to the user.
Fix: The package thunar-volman contains the file "/usr/share/applications/thunar-volman-settings.desktop" which describes the menu entry. Add the following line to this file: OnlyShowIn=XFCE; This will tell the Gnome environment not to show the entry in the menu. Propably this should reported to upstream, too. |

The more complex way is that we have only one settings application which shows the appropriate settings, depending on which file manager is running. The is what gnome-window-proerties does for window managers. But writing such an application for file managers is up to the application devs (i.e. upstream) and can/should not be done by the distro.
As tobias said, the distro possibly shouldn't mess with this issue. I'm just a user, so you developers/packagers have to decide how to deal with that.
Meantime, I will inform the XFCE developers which are in charge to care about the problem anyway.
