System Setup:
- Base Debian installation (no DE)
- Sway (Wayland) as window manager
- Thunar as file manager
Issue:
When going to Preferences -> Advanced in Thunar, I receive an error message: Current Configuration:
I have installed gvfs and its dependencies as described in the documentation here: (note that I tried multiple combinations and none did work)

I've extensively searched for solutions online (literally every links related to gvfs/thunar issues are clicked now on both google and ddg.....) but haven't found anything that resolves the problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
BTW, I forgot to mention it but I use Debian 12 stable.
