ssh: no remote thunar window on the client side

I've configured the ssh server to forward x11 and I can open almost every window in the client side (like mousepad, web browser, etc.) but not thunar.
After ‘ssh -X user@server’ and 'thunar' it opens a thunar window in the server side but not in the client display. I’m using Ubuntu 20.04 XFCE on both server and client. When the server was Ubuntu 14.04 I could get a thunar window on the client side (although with a vintage theme). But now it just opens on the server...
Any clue???

Try running "thunar -q" first on the server, then just "thunar". Maybe the daemon is holding on to the local display server.

Running "thunar -q" first did the trick.
Thank's.
