If you want to simply fix the opening of files but retain XFCE/exo you can simply open "exo-preferred-applications" and change the preferred "file manager" under "utilities" back to "Thunar"
You may "Lock Version" under the "Package" menu in Synaptic.
However, keep in mind that this may be addressed soon officially, as the bug has been recently confirmed in Launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751374

I'm guessing the install of XFCE changes this default, anyway flipping it back to thunar certainly fixes the behaviour in Unity for me. https://bugs.launchpad.net/exo/+bug/775640/commen…

Yes, thank you.
However the idea here was to be able to have both file managers installed and have Nautilius as the Default.

Thank you very very very much!

Thanks a lot! How do we prevent exo-utils from installing on update?
