Where did you copy these files to?  Your home directory?

How did you know it was gst-thumbnail?

Can you narrow this down to any particular files? 

Also, can you try Fedora Core 2?
Comment 2 Zuirdj 2004-06-23 05:59:06 UTC 
I have the same problem in Fedora Core 2 (actually Rawhide). It seems
the same bug that 116237
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116237)...
