Distribution/Version: fc4

I thought gThumb used the same thumbnail mechanism as Nautilus?  I remember that
older versions did anyway.

1. Create a new folder an populate the folder with a bunch of large images,
using Nautilus.
2. Enter the folder and wait for Nautilus to build the thumbnail images.
3. Start gThumb and enter the same folder
4. Notice that the thumbnails need to be re-created again in gThumb.  Meaning
that the thumbnails do not instantly appear in gThumb, they are create one by
one, requiring several minutes (depending on the size and quantity of images of
course).

This happens because gThumb doesn't use canonical URIs for the thumbnail while Nautilus does. For example, if you have an image with the path "/home/me/silly name%.jpg" Nautilus uses "file:///home/me/silly%20name%3A.jpg" while gThumb uses "file:///home/me/silly name%.jpg".
