So, if ROX-Filer tries to create them then they appear in the 'normal'
directory in the cache, but they don't appear in the filer window for the
image file? Can you load the thumbnail images into Gimp, etc?

Maybe something changed in the way GTK writes png files? Try
looking at the meta data for ROX-Filer-created thumbnails vs
Gimp-created ones.

There's a 'pngmeta' package on Debian that might be helpful, but my APT is
broken so I can't check it at the moment ("basic_string::_S_construct NULL
not valid" should win some kind of cryptic-error-message award; if anyone
knows how to fix this, let me know!).
