OK so you are running xfce and like thunar over xffm but are frustrated
that thunar doesn't have the ability to natively browse an SMB network.
Here is a workaround
fusesmb is awesome for providing filesystem like access to the SMB
network shares.
Create a directory somewhere
mkdir /mnt/smb
Change perms
chmod 777 /mnt/smb
The fuse module must be loaded in the kernel and triggered to load at
boot check it is and if not add it to your boot scripts/modules file.
/sbin/lsmod | grep fuse
fuse 43528 2
Install the fusesmb package
apt-get install fusesmb
Edit ~/.smb/fusesmb.conf to provide defaults and user/pass use `man
fusesmb.conf' for the correct format
Run fusesmb to mount the SMB network to the directory
fusesmb /mnt/smb
Change into the /mnt/smb directory and then when you ls you should see
workgroups,hosts,shares as nested directories
e.g. MYWORKGROUP/mycomputer/myshare
Now just add the /mnt/smb directory as a shortcut in the left pane in
thunar and bobs your uncle.
