OK, I digged a bit more and I found out how thumbnails get generated.
The thumbnailer registered for the files (or at least some that I tried)
is "/usr/bin/gnome-video-thumbnailer -s %s %u %o", which looks OK. I
tried running it by hand with
/usr/bin/gnome-video-thumbnailer -s 128 '/media/testfile.avi' output.png
(which seems to be the correct way) and I got
************

gst_init_get_option_group() was

If you need the core dump, please tell me where I can find it, I never
knew where they are placed.
