PS: I didn't reboot. Do I need to in order for the new settings to take effect?
I found several dconf files but it doesn't look like they contain any lock of org.gnome.nautilus.preferences.show-image-thumbnails and adding [org.gnome.nautilus.preferences] show-image-thumbnails="never" to them didn't help either. Here are they: /var/lib/gdm3/.cache/dconf /var/lib/gdm3/.cache/dconf/user /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/profile /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm.d /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-upstream-settings /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm.d/10-desktop-base-settings /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm.d/90-debian-settings /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks/00-upstream-settings-locks /var/lib/gdm3/dconf/profile/gdm and /usr/share/gdm/dconf /usr/share/gdm/dconf-profile /usr/share/gdm/dconf/00-upstream-settings /usr/share/gdm/dconf/10-desktop-base-settings /usr/share/gdm/dconf/locks /usr/share/gdm/dconf/locks/00-upstream-settings-locks Any ideas?
