Ubuntu lacks some thumbnailer configuration files.

[PCMan]

I sent a patch to the upstream project.
http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegthumbnailer/issues/detail?id=96

For other thumbnailers in ubuntu, IIRC ooo-thumbnailer has an existing bug
report for it. I don't know others. If these problems can be fixed, pcmanfm
can have full thumbnail support. It's in external-thumbnailer branch now
and I plan to merge this to master branch soon.
