Implementation for this featurerequest

Is everybody okay with me committing this? I might checkout some other eog bugs
sooner or later, but I'm not promising that I'll start maintaining it :-).

I'll see .. maybe, maybe not (it's code isn't very clean, you know).

You'll see a cleanup_dead_files() function. The reason why I didn't use the
GNOME_VFS_MONITOR_EVENT_DELETED is that this only works correctly on file monitors.

I prefer using a directory monitor. Else I'll have to manage a monitor (and
clean it up) for every file being previewed which is probably way more overhead
than on deletion/rename/create loop all the previewed items and check if they
still exist.

And also is the code so damned ugly and clumbsy that it's very hard to keep a
pointer to the monitor-handle per previewed file. I have a copy of the .c file
where I am doing that, but it makes the code look damn ugly and the diff large.

Btw. I don't know who to ask to get approval for commit since there's currently
no maintainer, of course

Philip: Wait for the new maintainer.

Waiting ... 

Please notify me when the patch goes in, or when I may commit this one.

Philip: Thanks for the patch. I finally got my gamin stuff working so I could
test this one. Looks great except that when a new file is added to a directory,
a thumbnail is not generated...is that the expected behavior? I will take a look
and see if I can figure it out.

Patch has been applied to beat the feature freeze deadline.

@Tim: That isn't expected behavior. Must be something with the signal-handlers
for the model. Since the creation of the icon happens when the model changes.
The creating of a new file should trigger it.
