With the version of comix from -proposed I can now see thumbnails and
don't receive a crash report.

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted comix into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/comix/4.0.4-1ubuntu1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Here's an explicit HOWTO for the .rpm workaround:

# Get the .rpm (don't worry about the i386; it's an architecture-agnostic 
Python application)
wget 
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/23/i386/c/comix-4.0.4-9.fc23.noarch.rpm

# Get alien
sudo apt-get install alien

# Convert the package (must do it as root; -k to keep the right version number)
sudo alien -k comix-4.0.4-9.fc23.noarch.rpm

# Install the package
sudo dpkg -i comix_4.0.4-9.fc23_all.deb

This bug prevents Comix from displaying thumbnails, but does not cause
it to crash on my computer (I am also on Xenial).

It looks like development of Comix has stalled, but the Fedora
maintainers have continued to patch it, and have fixed this particular
bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1290632

I converted the Fedora .rpm to a .deb with alien, and was able to
install it without any complications.  After this update, Comix displays
thumbnails again.  so it should be possible to incorporate the Fedora
patches into the Ubuntu package.
