XCF thumbnailer does not work in Ubuntu 12.04

So on your Ubuntu 12.04 system  you install the gnome-xcf-thumbnailer helper application, which is supposed to generate thumbnail icons for your XCF Gimp graphics files, but nothing happens. It just does not work.

Possible solution:

• See if file gnome-xcf.thumbnailer exists in the directory /usr/share/thumbnailers
• If it doesn’t, create it (you shall become root to do that) and type in the following:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=gnome-xcf-thumbnailer
Exec=gnome-xcf-thumbnailer %i %o
MimeType=image/x-xcf;image/x-compressed-xcf;
