I was ready to say: "most definitely", but that probably wouldn't be
problem, as it's CPU time that's being counted, not wall-clock 5
seconds.

I'll reiterate that it should be the thumbnailers that commit suicide
when they take too much time, not libgnomeui killing them (that's unless
Federico shows me that it's possible to thumbnail the biggest/hardest
videos under that time, and where the bottlenecks would be).
