System and Network configuration • [Thunar] GVFS/Removable Media Issues on Minimal Debian + Sway Installation

$

Hello, I'm experiencing issues with Thunar's trash and removable media functionality on a minimal Debian setup. Here are the details of my installation:

System Setup:
- Base Debian installation (no DE)
- Sway (Wayland) as window manager
- Thunar as file manager

Issue:
When going to Preferences -> Advanced in Thunar, I receive an error message:
thunar_err.png
Current Configuration:
I have installed gvfs and its dependencies as described in the documentation here: (note that I tried multiple combinations and none did work)

Code:

sudo apt list --installed | grep gvfsgvfs-backends/stable,now 1.50.3-1 amd64 [installed]gvfs-common/stable,now 1.50.3-1 all [installed,automatic]gvfs-daemons/stable,now 1.50.3-1 amd64 [installed]gvfs-fuse/stable,now 1.50.3-1 amd64 [installed]gvfs-libs/stable,now 1.50.3-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]gvfs/stable,now 1.50.3-1 amd64 [installed]
XDG Desktop Portal packages installed: (same here, tried multiple combinations)

Code:

sudo apt list --installed | grep xdg-desktopxdg-desktop-portal-dev/stable,now 1.16.0-2 all [installed]xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/stable,now 1.14.1-1 amd64 [installed]xdg-desktop-portal-kde/stable,now 5.27.5-2 amd64 [installed]xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/stable,now 0.7.0-1 amd64 [installed]xdg-desktop-portal/stable,now 1.16.0-2 amd64 [installed]
What I've tried:
1. Various combinations of gvfs package installations
2. Testing with KDE Plasma DE (same issues)
3. Different Sway launch methods:
- Currently using ly with "sway --unsupported-gpu"
- Tried:

Code:

exec /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session sway --unsupported-gpu
- Tried with custom desktop file:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]Name=SwayFXComment=An eye-candy fork of SwayExec=exec dbus-run-session sway --unsupported-gpuType=ApplicationDesktopNames=SwayFX
Note: I'm actually using SwayFX rather than vanilla Sway, but I've tested with both and encountered the same issues.

I've extensively searched for solutions online (literally every links related to gvfs/thunar issues are clicked now on both google and ddg.....) but haven't found anything that resolves the problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

BTW, I forgot to mention it but I use Debian 12 stable.
