EOG prevents the Desktop thumbnails to be updated

[YannUbuntu]

Binary package hint: eog

Connected, but not duplicate of Bug #548880.

- Copy an image on your Desktop (this step is important)
- Open it with EOG. Don't close EOG.
- Modify it with any image editor (Gimp, Shotwell, ..), save the changes.

RESULT : The thumbnail on the Desktop is not updated (the
thumbnail disappears as if was being updated, but then returns the same as
before).

EXPECTED RESULT : the thumbnail on the Desktop is updated accordingly to the changes.

- Then close the EOG window (without closing the Fspot window), then save again the
modification in your image editor. This time the thumbnail on the Desktop is updated.

the bug has been fixed upstream now

the function used has also been added in a new git commit, http://git.gnome.org/browse/eog/commit/?id=50390e87fe4f14f3a68ca93b3048127c15244750

which depends on yet another commit, could be considered still for a backport but might just wait next cycle as well now

[Lucian Adrian Grijincu (lucian.grijincu)]

I think the solution would be to cherry-pick those commits in the release branch of eog, so they would trickle to all distributions.

Rodrigo, do you think you could have a try backporting that fix to the current eog version?

The issue is fixed in Oneiric
