Bug#683394: nautilus: Thumbnails are created, but not displayed (nautilus loops over non-existing files in "~/.thumbnails/fail", causes also high CPU usage)

I tried both nautilus and nemo.

Before the symlink, I witnessed the exact same behaviour as Matteo in the first report (opening ~/.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory/, ENOENT), in both explorers.

After the symlink, stracing both nautilus and nemo shows successful opens of ~/.cache/thumbnails/normal/*.

I can help debugging this if you give me pointers.
