Ubuntu – Xubutu, right click so slow

13.10xfcexubuntu

I'm on Xubuntu 13.10 64 bit. I'm running Xfce4 version 4.10, Thunar version 1.6.3

If you right click on the desktop, the menu might never show up, if you right click in Thunar, you'll have to wait like 10s or more for it to show up.

If you right click in Thunar -> create a new document, you'll have to wait like 30s for the menu to show up. (sometimes it never does).

There's only one similar question, here, I followed the instructions in the accepted answer, it doesn't fix it, the right click menu is as slow as ever. The second answer, well it's not my first time. I need a third answer that wasn't given there.

This is a known issue in Xfce 4.10. It has (probably) been fixed in the upcoming 4.12, namely in the xfdesktop 4.11.2 development release.

You can test the fix by adding the Xfce 4.12 packages PPA and updating your packages (do note that this is unreleased, development software). In any case, this release seems to solve the issue on my system.
