I had Thunar version 1.2.3 installed in Wheezy. I looked in the Debian unstable and experimental repos for a newer version. But, there isn't any. Same ol' same ol'. The following is how I upgraded to Thunar version 1.6.2.
(1) Get the Siduction keyring for package verification. Do these steps as user root. If you use sudo, act accordingly.
--- Code: ---wget http://packages.siduction.org/base/pool/main/s/siduction-archive-keyring/siduction-archive-keyring_2013.03.29_all.deb
--- Fin du code ---
--- Code: ---dpkg -i siduction-archive-keyring_2013.03.29_all.deb
--- Fin du code ---
--- Code: ---rm siduction-archive-keyring_2013.03.29_all.deb
--- Fin du code ---
Removing the keyring package is optional. I left it in root's home directory.
(2) Create a text file named siduction_XFCE4_next.list. The name can be of your own choosing, but it must contain the suffix of .list. Note that this source list is only a subset of Siduction's full repository. That is what you want, unless you want to change your Wheezy/testing installation to Siduction (based on Debian unstable). The contents of the file are listed below.
--- Code: ---# siduction
# XFCE4.10 xfcenext (amd64 / i386 )
deb http://packages.siduction.org/xfcenext unstable main
# deb-src http://packages.siduction.org/xfcenext unstable main
--- Fin du code ---
(3) Copy the file (as user root) so apt can use the source.
--- Code: ---cp siduction_XFCE4_next.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
--- Fin du code ---
(4) (a) If you use apt-get, do:
--- Code: ---su -
--- Fin du code ---
--- Code: ---apt-get update
--- Fin du code ---
--- Code: ---apt-get dist-upgrade
--- Fin du code ---
--- Code: ---exit
--- Fin du code ---
(4) (b) If you use Synaptic, open Synaptic and click Reload. Click Mark All Upgrades. Click Apply.
You can leave the siduction_XFCE4_next repo list enabled. Only XFCE4 packages you have installed will be update/upgraded. In my installation, the following packages were upgraded/installed.
--- Citer ---Upgraded the following packages:
exo-utils (0.6.2-5) to 0.10.2-1
libexo-1-0 (0.6.2-5) to 0.10.2-1
libexo-common (0.6.2-5) to 0.10.2-1
libexo-helpers (0.6.2-5) to 0.10.2-1
libthunarx-2-0 (1.2.3-4+b1) to 1.6.2-1
libxfce4ui-1-0 (4.8.1-1) to 4.10.0-1
libxfce4util-bin (4.8.2-1) to 4.10.0-2
libxfce4util-common (4.8.2-1) to 4.10.0-2
libxfconf-0-2 (4.8.1-1) to 4.10.0-1
thunar (1.2.3-4+b1) to 1.6.2-1
thunar-data (1.2.3-4) to 1.6.2-1
thunar-volman (0.6.1-1) to 0.8.0-1
xfce-keyboard-shortcuts (4.8.1-1) to 4.10.0-1
xfconf (4.8.1-1) to 4.10.0-1
Installed the following packages:
libxfce4util6 (4.10.0-2)

Here's the result:
I had edited the /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount file because of the extreme wait time for the earlier Thunar version to start after login. The line edited was:
AutoMount=false
I changed the value to true and rebooted. After logging in, I started Thunar version 1.6.2. There was no wait time to speak of, and Network mounts were ready to browse.

I thought I would try out djohnston's suggestion above and install Thunar 1.6.2 via Siduction. The keyring bit didn't work so I just added the Siduction repo to sources.list and gave apt-get permission to download from an untrusted source. Worked a treat and the new Thunar is very neat - even has tabs now. Looks just a little different, kind of more stylish. Works fine with my current settings and no issues with network or startup.
Speaking of network, I was having an issue where wicd wouldn't start the network for about 20 seconds after login. Replaced wicd with network-manager-gnome and solved the issue!

The keyring changed on March 29th, 2013, shortly after posting this. The command to get the keyring, (run as root), is now:
--- Code: ---wget http://packages.siduction.org/base/pool/main/s/siduction-archive-keyring/siduction-archive-keyring_2013.03.29_all.deb
--- Fin du code ---
--- Code: ---dpkg -i siduction-archive-keyring_2013.03.29_all.deb
--- Fin du code ---
Since you already have the sources list, just install the keyring from Synaptic. Do a search for "keyring" and install the siduction-archive-keyring package.
(1) I don't know why the keyring package isn't updated in Synaptic. I just did the manual wget and dpkg -i and the new keyring replaced the older one.
(2) I updated the instructions in the first post.
Thanks for posting!

Hello!
How are you with the hot weather these days?
I am about to restart working on the creation of packages in Debian and I was wondering if either one of you two would push a new Debian spin out soon? If not, which one of the latest would you advice me to install, for building packages in it? (I still have Taco's Scorpio RC4 installed, but not quite up to date and my guess is you both improved a lot the different remixes since then).

The heat has been tempered by a lot of rain lately, which is a new condition here in Oklahoma. We have not seen sustained 100 degree temperatures like we did last year.

I suspect you want an Openbox based respin. I've only done one, the DebWeb. It has a few extra packages you may not want, and some were not installed conventionally, using a package manager. For that reason, I would pick one of Taco.22's, probably the Scorpio_2013-2. I think the only things you'd need to do are (1) a full update after installation and (2) (optionally) the installation of the latest Thunar.
Or, you could install the DebLXDE respin, do a full update, then remove the LXDE packages.
