Thunar File Manager error GDBUS related
Mostly when the computer boots up from a shutdown, 99% of the time it works flawlessly. But sometimes doesn't.
However, when i restart the computer the issue occurs with like 80% certainty.
When i receive the error I decide to shut down or restart the computer through the desktop environment, click the "Log out..." button in the Whisker Menu and i get the error:
"GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs:Type of message, "(yb)", does not match expected type"(b)"
as shown in the screenshot.
HOWEVER, if i use "pkill thunar" restarting the process (because i guess this is a service), then it rarely works again, sometimes it doesn't.
Most of the time I have to do several (3-4 or more) restarts/shutdowns to boot up the system properly without errors.
Probably this is the biggest challenge, that it's inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Even though conditions are the same.
The system installation is barely modified, could be even considered completely new. No system changes were made.

I am attaching screenshots where the Trash Thunar applet becomes unavailable, using an red exclamation icon,
also showing pictures where i can't open image files on my desktop, and i can't place files inside the thunar Thrash.
and also showing that after a successful restart the Trash applet icon is working, i can open image files as well.
