OK, haven't installed this yet, thus haven't played with it, tho I intend to, 
but couldn't you use Konqueror's create thumbnail index or whatever it's 
called, for that?  Alternatively, load them up in Konqueror w/ its own 
thumbnail generator, and take a screenshot of that, either to include, or to 
post somewhere URL reference-able from something in the package.

I know such a thumbnailer is pretty common in the MSWormOS world, and while 
that doesn't mean it's equally common in the LInux world, Konqueror probably 
isn't the only app that can do it, for those w/o KDE on their system.
