Bug#251881: nautilus doesn't thumbnail

[Andre Spiegel]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.6.1-3
Severity: important

I've upgraded Nautilus from 2.4, and I no longer get thumbnail icons for 
most .jpg and .png files.  Instead, I get a generic "JPG" or "PNG" icon.  
This is not consistent for all directories though.  Sometimes, when I 
switch to "Image Collection" mode (which always generates and displays 
proper thumbnails), and then back to "Icon" mode, I also get thumbnails 
there.  Sometimes the icons appear after I reload the directory.  
Sometimes they don't.

The image files which I want to have thumbnailed are all smaller than 
the maximum size limit for icons.  However, I noted problems when I 
tried to modify that value from gconf.  It would turn into a boolean 
value when I clicked on it; only when I reset it to the system default 
of 3MB did a reasonable value appear in the field again.

My e-mail address is spiegel@gnu.org, I'm not sure if the reportbug tool 
is going to use the correct sender address.
