Shortening the period thumbnails are kept on the disk is the best idea so far. While not perfect, it's simple and effective.
I like both the idea of having a logout cleanup and /etc/fstab as well, however I see a few issues that may arise:
- As Sebastien said, regenerating the thumbnails would drive users every time they reboot and access a folder with a tons of pictures
- The fstab fix would affect external USB hard drives resulting in the same regeneration issue.
Just my two cents:
