Nautilus needs to be insulated from thumbnailers crashing the entire
system.

As it is now, and has been for at least four or five releases, I can
easily drag down my entire desktop file browser via an SVG thumbnail or
video codec thumbnail.

Medium seems like a low priority given that these sorts of bugs
completely prevent Nautilus from starting up - or worse - if the file is
located on the audience member's desktop.  It results in a system that
is unrecoverable in terms of browsing a system, searching for files,
etc.

Is there a way of preventing a thumbnailer from crashing Nautilus?  It
would seem more logical to patch Nautilus at the source and have a
generic icon displayed instead of having the entire system get stuck in
a loop of crashing.
