[Bug 829556] [NEW] PDF thumbnailer hanging for a time and not working

 

Public bug reported:

If I save a PDF from an email message to my desktop, Nautilus attempts
to create a thumbnail.  The attempt fails.  I see the clock indicating
that a thumbnail is being created.  While this is occurring, I can not
interact with the desktop using the mouse.  Then, after about 45
seconds, the thumb-nailing process quits with a default PDF thumbnail.
Double clicking on the PDF opens it just fine.  The PDF files are not
corrupt or unreadable.
