Comment 10 for bug 236500

Same problem here on both 32-bit and 64-bit 9.04.

It returns errors like "PixbufError with File: /home/tux/.gnome2/gnome-art/thumbnails/GNOME-AmarilloVerdoso-Th.png - deleted".

When I download wallpapers (for example), gnome-art fails midway and exits with the following output: "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60:in `rbuf_fill': execution expired (Timeout::Error)

Then when I launch gnome-art again, I have to restart downloading from 0. But I never see any thumbnail in the main window, it remains blank.
