Not exact.

With older gthumb, you don't have to mount camera in nautilus. Otherwise
gthum can't use gphoto directly, since the gvfs backend has claimed the
device.

With new gthumb, you have to mount the camera. Gthumb access the camera
through gvfs backend.

For the moment, I have a "simple" issue ; my camera isn't auto mounted
by gvfs backend (gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor). So I have to mount manu
the camera before using gthumb.
This issue isn't a gthumb issue. Nevertheless, gthumb should be able to
list device not mounted ; and mount itself the camera !
But I don't know with wich API gthumb can list device connected but not
mounted...
