nautilus does not show anything while trying to build trumbnails for many figures

Binary package hint: nautilus

I moved about 10 figures to a folder with nautilus. Now when I try to access this
folder nothing appears, and Nautilus seems to be waiting trumbnails to be built.

The screencast shows the behaviour (the figures never appear). I have 11 figures
on that folder totalling 11Mb. The largest one has 3.8 Mb, so no really big deal.

I think Nautilus should very rapidly quit trying to build a trumbnail and show default
icons, otherwise, if the trumbnail of some figure is problematic, it will not show anything.

- If I remove figure by figure, and even letting a single figure in that folder the problem persits.

- If I move the same files to another folder called "test", it works.

- If I change the name of the "Figures" folder to "test", it works.

- If I change the name back from "test" to "Figures" it stops working again.

- Closing and openning Nautilus does not solve the problem.

The screencast shows it all. The content of the "teste" folder is the same as
the content of the "Figures" folder.

I'm not sure how to reproduce the problem from scratch. The problem
was happening when I reported it with the "report problem", so some
information may be there.
