1. Do I understand correctly that image thumbnails are successfully
created?

2. You can rebuild nautilus and change this in nautilus-thumbnail.c file
to get some debugging information

#if 0
#define DEBUG_THUMBNAILS
#endif

3. Do the mime-type of file determined correctly? What does this command
show

$gnomevfs-info file

4. I remember something like association of application and video mime
type stop thumbnailing in nautilus near 2.6.0. Check in .gnome/
directory for those mime-type. Probably that helps.

5. After that you can upgrade to gnome 2.8.1. It also can help you a lot
of bugs.
