When I let both nautilus and gthumb 2.10.8 show the same folder, I can
see that gthumb starts thumbnailing as soon as data are being written to
the file. Nautilus is a bit late - it starts showing non zero filesize
not util gthumb has already finished thumbnailing, but then at last
nautilus itself starts re-thumbnailing the watched file (sorry for my
lame English).

When I close gthumb and leave only nautilus open, file gets only generic
icon, not thumbnail.

To check for mtime I issued 'watch -n 1 ls -l --full-time', I can see
mtime progressively changing when data is being written.
