Clicking on icons for mounted devices uses Nautilus instead of Thunar

I have Ubuntu 6.06 with both Gnome and Xfce installed. Xfce is my preferred desktop: I'm using 4.4 Beta 1.

When I plug in devices (such as USB drives) or insert a CD, an icon appears. Nice, but when I click on the icon, it seems to use Nautilus instead of Thunar to browse the drive.  How do I change this?

I've found the configuration for the gnome-volume-manager by running gnome-volume-properties. I can disable automatic browsing of the volume, but I cannot tell it to use another application when automatically browsing the volume.

When I click on the icon, it uses Thunar.

Using gconf-editor to look the (low-level) configuration of gnome-volume-manager does not show that there's an option to control what application is used to browse  a volume when autobrowse is set.
