I was only toying around with this a bit, as it did look a lot more 
interesting than getting the rest of the GCC 3.3 warnings out of GUI.
If Enrico already has an implementation this surely is better than what 
I have got.

The "thumbnailer" application confuses me a bit. Who would be starting 
this? I could see GWorkspace doing this but it is hard to see 
NSWorksapce in that role.
