Comment 1 Jonathan Blandford 2001-01-25 20:13:17 UTC
Tim, can you look at this?
We disabled this feature in RH 7.  Apparently it was turned back on at some
point for the betas.  We should prolly just disable it again until it is stable.


Comment 2 Glen Foster 2001-01-30 00:06:27 UTC
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release

Comment 3 Elliot Lee 2001-02-01 22:21:08 UTC
No sign of Tim - will patch gnome-core-1.2.4-5 to always disable thumbnailing
and remove ability of user to turn it on.
