still problems, there is a global list of canvas and other stuff in
evas. Also, new ethumb features we're working on will depend on main
loop and thus you'll have bigger problem.

(antognolli is working on thumbnail plugins, probably we'll have epdf,
eps, edvi and emotion plugins, so we'll be able to have documents and
videos! we're even thinking about animated thumbnails by generating
.edj files using edje_edit api, but that will need bit more work)
