Bug Description

Testing Xubuntu 18.04. In one of the testcases I'm asked to open Thunar. I know what Thunar is, but new testers/users may not know, because "thunar", as a name, does not show up in the main menu. On my setup typing thunar in the input box of the main menu does not even show up thunar.

Thunar is also mentioned in:

1579
1682
1681
1628
1585
1584
1628
1434

Would be worth checking the impact of using Thunar vs File Manager in those testcases as well.

1579 Have done some changes. As at the command line the user needs to enter "thunar" I did not entirely erase every mention of thunar in this test case
1682 Not done: this is a test case for a specific bug 1514912 which I believe has been solved.
1681 Not done: this is a test case for a specific bug 1512120 which I believe has been solved.
1628 Done.
1585 Done. As at the command line the user needs to enter "thunar" I did not entirely erase every mention of thunar.
1584 Done.
1628 Same number as above; done
1434 Done.

As I am trying to learn to use grep, I did "~/ubuntu-manual-tests/testcases$ grep -i -r thunar * | more
" in my local folders.
This also found 1569 but that's Thunar itself, so I understand why you would leave that out of your list. I don't think erasing the application name there would be useful. I just added in one of the first lines a mention of Thunar being the file manager.

I did commit the changes with ""changed type to solve LP1772142", which was wrong; it was me using CTRL-R (also a new trick I learned) in terminal to repeat the steps I did the previous time. Sorry about that.

I pushed using LP1758682; I think you told me you did something else for pushing changes, but I couldn't find where/what you told me - and I forgot what is was. :-(
