Sorry for the late answer, I will hopefully be more available in the next 
days. A few weeks ago, I committed some code in CVS which should address the 
problem. Before creating a thumbnail, the icon will take exactly as much 
space as required by a preview pixmap. This space will be the same before and 
after preview, and also for all thumbnails. That removes the need to update 
the layout while thumbnails are being generated. If you can try the CVS 
version, I would be glad to have your opinion on it.

Benoit.
