How can I prevent Thunar and d-bus from loading during Xfce startup?
I have been fiddling with a kiosk project (web browser appliance) using Xfce and an old PII system. With this project I don't need these apps running in the background.
I can run a script in the Xfce autostart section to kill Thunar, which frees valuable memory on this old box, but preventing Thunar from loading would shave some overhead during the boot process.
I do not have d-bus running in the boot scripts. I commented out the associated d-bus lines in the xfce xinitrc script, but d-bus loads nonetheless.
Thanks much.

Beginning with xfce 4.6, many things are using DBus.
Giving ubuntu karmic as exemplary:
~$ apt-cache rdepends libdbus-glib-1-2|grep xf|sort
libxfcegui4-4
libxfconf-0-2
xfce4-cddrive-plugin
xfce4-clipman-plugin
xfce4-governor-plugin
xfce4-messenger-plugin
xfce4-notes-plugin
xfce4-notifyd
xfce4-power-manager
xfce4-power-manager-plugins
xfce4-session
xfce4-settings
xfce4-smartpm-plugin
xfce4-terminal
xfce4-utils
xfce4-verve-plugin
xfce4-volstatus-icon
xfconf
xfdesktop4
xfmedia
xfmedia-remote-plugin
xfwm4
~$
e.g. xfconf does not work without d-bus, so you'll get no settings.
Better revert to 4.4.
