Public bug reported:

john@joran ~ ❯ gimp --version
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.8.14

When writing a file, gimp will create a directory (~/.thumbnails) to
write thumbnails into despite XDG locations being defined
(XDG_CACHE_HOME="/home/john/settings/cache"), and the location existing
and containing files already:

john@joran ~ ❯ ls $XDG_CACHE_HOME/thumbnails
fail/  large/  normal/  gnome-exe-thumbnailer.cfg  gnome-exe-thumbnailer.files

Can confirm that putting this into gimprc:
(thumbnail-size none)
disables the location being created, but then thumbnails are not generated 
either

>From browsing their bugzilla,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646644 this was filed and
meant to be fixed.

** Affects: gimp (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
