Description joh 2004-06-22 11:39:42 UTC 
When the user changes the default application for a certain filetype (via the
"File types and programs" dialog) to a custom application, this setting is
written to "$HOME/.gnome/mime-info/user.keys", including a line "icon_filename".
This icon_filename entry causes Nautilus to stop generate thumbnails for that
filetype and always use the icon instead.

I'm not totally sure if this is a bug of GnomeVFS or of Nautilus, but since
there is no need to save an icon file name when the user has changed just the
default application for that file type I think the VFS is doing things wrong anyway.

This doesnt seem to be reproducable with the new mime system
