Looks cool, but...

I use soapbox, a sandbox-alike application to prevent changes to my 
filesystem outside of a build-jail.

Building thunar-thumbnailers produces tons of error messages like these:

...

soapbox: Attempt to mkdir("/usr/share/mime/application", 0755).
soapbox: Attempt to 
rename("/usr/share/mime/application/x-gzpostscript.xml.new", 
"/usr/share/mime/application/x-gzpostscript.xml").
Failed to rename /usr/share/mime/application/x-gzpostscript.xml.new as 
/usr/share/mime/application/x-gzpostscript.xml

...

It seems that thunar-thumbnailers tries to modify my live system files! 
I use a custom compile script, but I can recon that meta-distributions 
and packagers won't be very happy with this behaviour, right?
