Bug Description
Impact
------
Thumbnails do not show in the file chooser (provided by gtk4 which is also used by even non-GTK3 apps if they use xdg-desktop-
This bug is new to Ubuntu 23.04 because GTK 4.10 is the first stable GTK release to support the "grid view" in the filechooser.
Test Case
---------
1. Use Firefox to download an image file. (This test case assumes you're using the default Firefox distributed as a Snap).
2. In Firefox, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+O to open the file chooser.
3. Navigate to where the file was downloaded (your Downloads/ folder?)
4. The file should show a thumbnail image
Number 4 doesn't happen correctly until you open the folder in Nautilus at least once.

I've noticed it on 23.10 too.
I think that the file picker does not GENERATE thumbnails.
If thumbnails are generated beforehands by Nautilus, they get displayed.
