I have pretty mixed feelings about nautilus thumbnailing in general,
because it has to run a load of programs in the background on each and
every file listed (although of course it caches them).

It's clearly very important to make sure that the thumbnailer gets the
job done while consuming as few resources as possible, and also as
fast as possible.

With regards to this, is there any disadvantage to the thumbnailer
loading gschem directly?
