Did you install the dependencies listed in theREADME? I would have expected X Window development files to have been installed as dependencies of the required GTK+ development package

You do not need to install all dependencies of Thunar manually.
You should use the power of APT to get the dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep thunar
along with new dependencies of the 1.8.4-1 source code package for upcoming disco:
sudo apt-get install libexo-2-dev libgtk-3-dev libxfce4panel-2.0-dev libxfce4ui-2-dev
and then compile and install it with checkinstall make install.

You do not need to install all dependencies of Thunar manually.
You should use the power of APT to get the dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep thunar
along with new dependencies of the 1.8.4-1 source code package for upcoming disco:
sudo apt-get install libexo-2-dev libgtk-3-dev libxfce4panel-2.0-dev libxfce4ui-2-dev
and then compile and install it with checkinstall make install.
