Turned out that the lib for SVG files was not included in the file 
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

The gentoo ebuild for librsvg should execute 
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders after an
install but that probably failed for some reason
After I issued the command manually Nautilus startet to render
thumbnails for SVG files again :)

I even get thumbnails for Gimp files again - but no idea why :)

turns out that all PNGs that do not give a thumbnail also cannot be
opened in eog. seems like webalizer at my isp generates broken images.

Other remote images show well
