Originally that's what I thought: it would definitely make maintenance 
easier in the long run.  But then should I be installing a mimetype for 
files when I'm not thumbnailing that type of file?

Also I thought that it might be a good idea to have a 
--disable-mime-install to configure, so that distributers can turn mime 
type installing off if they don't like it?

Is there a page in the documentation explaining what formats thunar can 
thumbnail by default (i.e. without thunar-thumbnailers) and what their 
dependencies are?  Users won't realise they need totem for video 
thumbnails to work.  It would also help me think of thumbnailers to 
implement in thunar-thumbnailers.

There's quite a nice video thumbnailer using mplayer, which I hope to 
include:
