I installed butterknife with DWM and tried to connect with thunar to a cifs/smb NAS and it failed without any messages. I finally figured out it was missing gvfs-fuse. Might want to include that. It seems that gvfs-backends was already installed

Added gvfs-fuse to the dwm-setup install script (and the other WM setup scripts), so new installs will pick it up.

For what it's worth: this only comes into play when you browse to smb:// inside Thunar rather than mounting the share with cifs/fstab. A cifs mount works for every app without it. gvfs-fuse just lets non-GTK apps open files off shares mounted the Thunar way.

Thanks for the report.

I have a bad habit of first browsing for my NAS and copying all my systemd mount and automout files to my new system. So this is the only time I use SMB browse on any file manager.
