Can't stop Nautilus from generating thumbnails in FUSE filesystems where it probably shouldn't

Please describe the problem: I've been playing around with FUSE, which is pretty neat, but Nautilus' thumbnailing is causing problems. First, I set up an encrypted ~/vault directory, using encfs, but I can't find a way to stop Nautilus from thumbnailing the contents of it, and storing those thumbnails in the unencrypted ~/.thumbnails. Obviously this rather reduces the value of an encrypted directory. Second, I tried mounting a remote drive using sshfs, which works great, but Nautilus tries to thumbnail the contents of that too, even though it's mounted over a slow connection. This is also problamatic. I gather the normal way of dealing with this is to mark certain filesystems non-local in gnome-vfs, and I suppose that could work here, as long as you can tell different kinds of FUSE filesystems apart. In any case, I don't have any better ideas. Steps to reproduce: 1. Mount filesystem 2. Open in Nautilus Actual results: Nautilus thumbnails the contents of the directory, even if it is remote or contains sensitive encrypted documents. Expected results: Nautilus doesn't thumbnail the contents of the directory if it is remote or contains sensitive encrypted documents. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
