There is some stuff regarding thunar on this blog post by one of the thunar

Chris,
Please file a bug with various upstreams (if you haven't already) to
switch to udisks so we can retire ConsoleKit.
MATE no longer has any use for it and neither should XFCE. I only
picked up as a knee jerk reaction. It shouldn't be that hard for
upstreams to move away from it. It wasn't for us.
