GWorkspace - thumbnail service problems

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi all,

I seem not to get thumbnails when running them. Can someone help me 
understanding and fixing?

I tried on two computers, linux/x86 and freebsd/amd64 thus it is not 
something specific. Somebody just reported that it works for him, so I 
wonder if somebody can test current GWorkspace.

Furthermore, debugging is always a bit hard for a service. What I notice 
is that
1) the service starts and churns, since I see a lot of cpu and memory used
2) thumbnails do not appear in a folder, not even by closing the folder 
view and reopening it

There aren't apparently direct recent changes in it, so it looks more 
like bitrotting. What's your behaviour?
does the service close by itself when it has done? or when GWorkspace quits?
