Statistics refer to http://www.gnome.org/~fpeters/299.html which now also covers the Mobile section, hence results can be worse than last time. ================================================================= THE PROBLEMS: What migration paths are missing? ================================================================= libgnomeui provides retrieving thumbnails of files.
