I haven't used them yet, but will once they get in the archive. I'd be 
inclined to leave them enabled because they are meant to help users. 
Benedikt seems to develop most features with usability in mind, I think 
he may be  right this time as well.
And as mentioned in this thread it's easier to change the setting for 
those who do not need it as it is likely they are more experienced users 
anyway.

True, they both are disabling an upstream default setting. But they 
differ in that icons are disabled as Ubuntu did with gnome/nautilus 
default whereas ubuntu did not disable gnome-volume-manager popping 
windows up.

I still think Xubuntu should mainly differ from Ubuntu in the selection 
of packages and the pros and cons that are a consequence of this. It 
should be user friendly rather than power-user oriented.
Anyway we have a few months to test this new thunar feature and we'll be 
able to take a better decision closer to release.

and thanks to Gauvain for packaging it so quickly ;)
