Hello again! I'm afraid there is a new development :(
It took a minute to for me to catch this, but every time I reboot my
computer Cover Thumbnailer stops working. The key in gconf-editor,
desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/inode@directory, simply disappears.

If I want to update the thumbs created by Cover Thumbnailer I have to:

$ sudo gconf-schemas --register
/usr/share/cover-thumbnailer/cover-thumbnailer.schema

Then:

$ killall nautilus ; nautilus

After that Cover Thumbnailer works correctly again until the next reboot.
