I don't get this.  You're talking about autorun but all you disable is
autoopen.  To recap: autorun checks for the presence of `.autorun',
`autorun' and `autorun.sh', asks for a confirmation and runs the
script.  autoopen checks for `.autoopen' and asks for a confirmation
to open the selected file.

Either both need to be disabled or none (given that there's a confirmation
involved).

But then I'm not at all convinced that we should do this change in stable.
If it's a consensus to do it because of the security problems, then all DEs
should get such changes (preferably by way of DSA so that's it's properly
announced, it's a behaviour change after all).  If it's not then why is
only xfce doing it.

I see the point of vulnerable thumbnailers, of course.  But then you have
the same problem when browsing the web and someone exploiting your system.
We need to fix those thumbnailers.  (On shared NFS or CIFS mounts it'd
still be exploitable.)  And for wheezy look into the containment of those
like Ubuntu does.

So that's a weak NACK at this point, sorry.

Kind regards
Philipp Kern
