I don't think making the MIME-type part of the interface name is a good idea
at all. libgnomeui does this, and it means that there's an explosion of
MIME-types that must be registered (this is GNOME bug #545130[1]). It would
be better if the API allowed a MIME-type parameter, so that it could perform
a search, from specific to general, of the available thumbnailers.

Furthermore, wouldn't placing the MIME-type in the serivce name make it
impossible for more than one thumbnailer to be registered per MIME-type?
That seems a large choice for the API to decide.
