Ok, with the latest Thunar, that'd be (quick&dirty):

---< html-thumbnailer.desktop >---
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=X-Thumbnailer
TryExec=kwebdesktop
MimeType=text/html;
Name=HTML Thumbnailer
X-Thumbnailer-Exec=kwebdesktop 640 480 %o %u
----------------------------------

This one let's kwebdesktop create a 640x480 thumbnail, which Thunar
scales down afterwards. Unfortunately, kwebdesktop cannot generate
useful images at the required size directly. Maybe someone can hack up a
tool that links to kdelibs and does this properly.
