Directory with partially accessible files

Description

Accessing attributes of files/sub-directories in a directory might be prevented by a linux security module (e.g., caitsith/tomoyo can restrict access to 'getattr'). If there is at least one such file in a directory, thunar displays an error message "Error when getting information on file 'xyz': Operation not permitted" and does not list any of the remaining files in the directory.

It would be great, if thunar proceeds with displaying all (remaining) files in the directory (pcmanfm simply ignores the error but displays the failed file with a question mark icon - I really like this behavior).
