And SVG thumbnails art still dragging the entire file browser down, sometimes without it given the ability to restart itself.

This is as of _Lucid_ 14th April.

I'd say that it is fair to suggest that there are likely zero audience members that expect standard thumbnailing activity to drag down their entire desktop. Symptoms of this _exact_ bug include:

1) Crashing Nautilus. As of Lucid, Nautilus attempts to restart on its own now.

2) Freezing Nautilus requiring a pkill on the CLI.

3) Freezing the entire system. This requires switching to a virtual terminal and pkill'ing Nautilus.

This is a default thumbnailer on the system so one could only hope that this bug gets the proper attention it requires.
