You could also add some lines to your ~/.bash_logout file
or write a shell script sourced from it, or even run from cron.
Something like this:

# ~/.bash_logout
# scrape the thumbnails clean
if [ -d $HOME/.thumbnails/normal ] ; then
   find $HOME/.thumbnails/normal/ -type f -name "*.png" -print0 \
   | xargs -0r /bin/rm --
fi

if [ -d $HOME/.thumbnails/large ] ; then
   find $HOME/.thumbnails/large/ -type f -name "*.png" -print0 \
   | xargs -0r /bin/rm --
fi

HTH ;)
p.s. Thx for posting this Tango, mine had 96Mb..
