Off the top of my head, I don't think so. I was thinking we would write a small thumbnailer program / script which would open gschem with appropriate .scm invocation to export a small .png of the page. It won't be possible to use libgeda to do this - as the GDK graphics are in gschem only. You could export postscript from libgeda if that helps though. We might need a little work to ensure no prompts / windows are shown if we use gschem directly.
