Dear Maintainer,

After looking through a few directories gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer
sucks up a lot of memory. The directories I was looking at are
in the co-existing Windows XP SP3 Home Edition installation.
I don't know which, or which types of files, could be triggering
this behaviour.

This is on a "small" machine, an msi U120 notebook/netbook with
1GB memory hardwired (i.e. can't be increased), so, a process
using this much memory causes everything to bog down. The memory
usage of this process varies over time and getting a screen shot
at the maximum usage was impossible. But, 540MiB is still well
up there. Since reportbug doesn't allow for attachments I've
placed the screen shot at:

   http://chrisw.freeshell.org/caja/Screenshot%20at%202023-05-10%2014-00-27.png

top shows 1GiB of virtual memory for gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer and
if all that is in actual use, resident or swap, then it is that
much worse.

I turned off thumbnails in caja and rebooted and the process and
problem were gone.

The thumbnails option should be turned off by default and there
should be a warning asscociated with this option until this is
fixed.
