XFCE Desktop - trash, cannot execute file, command prompt here missing

Hi there,

I am using the xfce4 is already the newest version (4.12.5).
thunar is already the newest version (1.8.4-1).
The distribution is Linux kali 4.19.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.13-1kali1 (2019-01-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
However, the problem is:
When I when I click on any program to execute, it will show things like;

Failed to run "<insert program name here>"
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

2ndly, when I right click, create document here, or create folder here, nothing shows up on the desktop itself.

Any help will be appreciate.

-------------------------
On top which,

I have run this comment on the bug report:
dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:org.xfce.Thunar uint32:0

But still got the same error:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
