Err, one hates to disagree but you *can* definetly detect the traps with a thief.
The tactic that worked for me was to have my mage cast invisibility on my thief (player character, even now being fattened for TOB!). Then he just went on ahead: got most of the traps and those he didn't, well, if they can't see you they can't attack you!
As I said I used my mage to cast the spell, but if you have a couple of invisibility potions and an oil of speed, that'll do the trick (due to the duration of potions) or even have your mage use a scroll with invisibility on it.

Fear? I know not the meaning of the word. And you can keep that dictionary away from me!
