 Sure.

I've just installed thunar and thunar-volman with the needed
dependencies (I've disabled auto-install of recommended stuff long
time ago).
I've ensured that no GConf, DConf, gvfs or GTK+3 libraries
are present (no QT libs too).
I've used USB stick to do a quick test.
Thunar helpfully showed me that it's a '1.89 Gb Volume' (um, whatever).
Next, I've added that line to /etc/fstab:

/dev/sdb1 /mnt auto noauto,user 0 0

Clicked on '1.89 Gb Volume' and … it mounted. Talk about magic.
Next, I've selected 'Eject device' and … it unmounted! Awesome.

That lead me to the conclusion that gvfs is a complex solution to a
non-existent problem.

Even without that /etc/fstab line Thunar showed me 'Trash', whatever
that thing is.
