Yes, I realise that thunar does not do network browsing. In KDE I use 
Konqueror as my file manager. I know that konqueror is also a web 
browser but I never use it for that. And, of course, in fluxbox I can 
use konqueror if I want to. And I never use Gnome at all.

That sounds interesting. I will have a look at IceWM.
