    Setting default file manager in Xubuntu

    Is there a GUI that will allow me to set a default file manager for Xubuntu? I would like to use the Nautilus File manager. Right now I access Nautilus from a launcher I have on my Panel. I would like to have the ability to switch file managers, set defaults etc... and hope that there is something out there that would allow me to do this.

    I don't know any GUI, but you can do that by setting Nautilus instead of Thunar as the default application for the following mimetypes:
    * x-directory/gnome-default-handler
    * x-directory/normal
    * inode/directory
