Trash Error: Unable to contact theXfce Trash service.

Hello
When I startup Xfce 4.4.0 on Slackware 11 (kernel 2.6.19.1)
I see Window: Trash Error
Make sure you have a file manager installed that supports the Xfce Trash service, such as Thunar

I compiled Thunar from source: ./configure --with-x
Build Configuration:

* Operating system support:  generic
* D-BUS support:             yes
* File System Monitor:       none
* GNOME Thumbnailers:        no
* Startup Notification:      yes
* Volume Manager:            none
* Debug Support:             minimum

Additional Plugins:

* Advanced Properties:       yes
* Simple Builting Renamers:  yes
* Trash Panel Applet:        yes
* User Customizable Actions: yes

I don't want yo see this error - please help me!

(sorry for english)

Best regards
Zulik

Try starting thunar and save your session.
Thunar needs to be running when xfdesktop starts.
