On https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150483 in the last comment 
there's this:
"Starting with gnome 2.23.x, the oldest thumbnails are purged shortly after 
login when the cache exceeds 64 MB, or if they are older than 60 days, (...)"

However the limits were redefined in Ubuntu, see in gconf-editor: 
/desktop/gnome/thumbnail_cache/maximum_age and 
/desktop/gnome/thumbnail_cache/maximum_size

They were set to 512MB and 180 days, that means dozens of thousands of
thumbnails to keep, simply doesn't make sense, these limits should be
lower.
