The ".thumbnails space wasted problem" was already discussed, but just 
for the record, I think this trash logic/code should be shared with the 
.thumbnails problem.

So, the thumbnails that has not been accessed for the time list Matthew 
pointed out are deleted silently by nautilus, also when the disk is near 
to get full the thumbnails should be deleted, in that case a little 
message in the notification area telling what nautilus have just do it 
is not superflous imo.
