I agree with your well-stated take on this. I'm merely pointing out that the
original statement that GNOME's thumbnailer displays the indicated bug
behaviour should be amended: It displays that bug behaviour if the
system also has WINE installed.

WINE is a fine and useful package (and this bug isn't its fault). My
point is merely that in the _general_ case, it would not be expected to
accompany GNOME. (I'm very much not a GNOME fan.)

(I wasn't really making an _excuse_ for GNOME, but even saying anything
in favour of it makes me feel vaguely unclean. ;-> My wording was
somewhere on the spectrum between poor word choice and a mild gag that
didn't work well.)
