[thunar] Opening new windows extremely slow on 4.10

Folks;

not sure whether this belongs here, yet asking right away: Running XFCE 4.10 off the xubuntu-dev PPA on Ubuntu 12.04, I noticed that just recently thunar has turned incredibly slow to start up. No matter whether launching from "Places", by clicking "Home" on the desktop or by doing "thunar Downloads/" in a terminal, it takes way > 10 seconds until eventually the thunar window does pop up and is usable. This isn't intended, is it?

Launching things from the terminal using strace makes me end up like that:

getcwd("/home/kr", 4096)                = 9
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0) = 5
connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/tmp/dbus-PxRDB9C1JK"}, 23) = 0
fcntl64(5, F_GETFL)                     = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fcntl64(5, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)  = 0
geteuid32()                             = 1000
getsockname(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE, NULL}, [2]) = 0
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLOUT}], 1, 0)    = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLOUT}])
send(5, "\0", 1, MSG_NOSIGNAL)          = 1
send(5, "AUTH EXTERNAL 31303030\r\n", 24, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 24
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1)    = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}])
read(5, "OK 43c45b15a8c2fe106e3b14ae00000"..., 2048) = 37
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLOUT}], 1, -1)   = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLOUT}])
send(5, "NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD\r\n", 19, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 19
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, -1)    = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}])
read(5, "AGREE_UNIX_FD\r\n", 2048)      = 15
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLOUT}], 1, -1)   = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLOUT}])
send(5, "BEGIN\r\n", 7, MSG_NOSIGNAL)   = 7
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLOUT}])
sendmsg(5, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0n\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/fre"..., 128}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 128
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {13380, 235647429}) = 0
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN}])
recvmsg(5, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"l\2\1\1\v\0\0\0\1\0\0\0=\0\0\0\6\1s\0\6\0\0\0:1.245\0\0"..., 2048}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 262
recvmsg(5, 0xbfbcc968, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
sendmsg(5, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\2\0015\0\0\0\2\0\0\0{\0\0\0\1\1o\0\25\0\0\0/org/xfc"..., 144}, {"\10\0\0\0/home/kr\0\0\0\0\17\0\0\0\n\0\0\0Download"..., 53}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 197
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {13380, 237069086}) = 0
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000

At this point, things sleep waiting for quite a while obviously doing nothing, until eventually things move on and the file manager window appears. Does that make sense to anyone? Any debugging output I could provide on that?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian
