Font thumbnailer never thumbnails any fonts in Jaunty

[James Henstridge]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

gnome-control-center provides a font thumbnailer for Nautilus (gnome-thumbnail-font), but it never manages to produce any thumbnails.

The fix for bug 339417 introduced some resource limits to the thumbnailer, but these appear to be set too low. The commit says it limits runtime to 30 seconds, but the code is actually limiting it to 30 microseconds.

I've also reported this bug upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584107

I've tracked down and debugged this, only to find it's already here. Why not fixing this very visible bug in jaunty? (which implies a one-byte fix).
