I don't think this has ever worked though similar bug reports claim the 
problem is fixed.
The bug is best described there:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librsvg/+bug/257713
As the user states opening the svgz in eog successfully generates the
thumbnail, to that I would add that browsing the directory using KDE's
konqueror/dolphin also generates proper thumbs for nautilus.

librsvg2-2 can't be the problem as the above bug resolution claims, b/c 
it's built properly in Debian:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450209
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536414

I can work around this bug by specifying my own thumbnailer ala:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/integration-guide/stable/thumbnailer.html.en

gconftool --install-schema-file=svgz-thumbnailer.schemas
rm -r .thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory/*
pkill nautilus  # this may not be necessary

Note: the schema (attached) depends on rsvg-convert found in librsvg2-bin

This does the trick, but if it's supposedly working in other distros 
then why
can't we have svgz thumbs working by default in Debian?  I'd rather not 
have to
install this schema and librsvg2-bin on all my machines.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
bardia
