Package: gthumb
Version: 3:2.10.2-4
Severity: important

If pictures are stored on another drive such as an automount drive and
accessed via symlinks then thumbnails are not displayed.

The following errors are produced:

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
parent directories: No such file or directory

and for each thumbnail:

(gthumb:14645): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_uri_new_private: assertion 
`text_uri != NULL' failed

** (gthumb:14645): WARNING **: Unsupported operation


It seems to me the problem is caused by getcwd which returns the
absolute path.  This has the effect of making "symlink2dir/.." 
non-equivalent to "."

So if you have an automount filesystem  /dsk/xx and a 
symlink ~/photos->/dsk/xx

ls -l ~/photos/.. will list the contents of /dsk rather than ~/

My guess is that this makes gthumb unable to locate ~/.thumnails. I guess 
also that this is an upstream problem.
