Bug Description
Thumbnails used in the dash are blurry for small svg images. In contrast to that the previews in the dash are specifically rendered for the dash and show in correct resolution.
Nautilus is setup to display icons in 100% zoom level (default). In Nautilus or on the desktop, svg thumbnails of 24×24px svg images are smaller than the maximum available thumbnail area and are displayed in screen pixels (which is very tiny, could also be a bug).
It appears the Unity dash looks up if a thumbnail exists for a specific file in ~/.cache/
This makes vector graphics appear like they where raster graphics and look very blurry.
Ubuntu: 14.04
