Yes, it's a good addition ! If possible, I think GNUstep should implement 
freedesktop
specs when it is reasonable.
Now we just need a method to create thumbnails according to freedesktop specs in
GWorkspace (or by a service ?) -- enrico did a thumbnail creation, but I think 
it is not
"freedesktop-compatible" ?
