I think that's an excellent idea, but I think in order to make it
actually work in reality, you would first need to do something like
Gimp's Autocrop tool, where it cuts off solid-color margins from all
four sides, and THEN show the top left quadrant of what remains.
Otherwise on at least half of the internet (fixed-width pages on
widescreen monitors etc) you'd end up with a thumbnail that was
predominantly white.
