1. Its in my default session. I created a new session to test with, and there 
it works fine.
2. I'm not sure regarding the definition of "non-standard" - I install stuff 
using the Ubuntu Software Center all the time, and I also have a few external 
packages installed as well (for example VirtualBox). None come to mind that may 
cause this.

Thumbnails for other files, for example - PDF files, work fine.

Can you please recommend a few places to look regarding fixing the thumbnails 
on my account? 
- I tried deleting .thumbnails and as a result I now do not have any thumbnails 
anywhere. 
- I looked in Nautilus preferences and under "preview" I have everything set to 
"local files only" and for "other previewable files" I also have "10mb" as the 
maximum size
- I tried installing all packages of the form gnome-*-thumbnailer, but that did 
not help

I think the problem may be in the mime settings - if I look at the
properties of a JPEG file and it said its type is "jpg document
(application/x-extension-jpg)" and similarly for png files.

I also tested creating GIF and XCF files and both show thumbnails
correctly and have their types list them as images (the XCF support
maybe the result of me installing gnome-xcf-thumbnailer). Also to create
the XCF and GIF files I opened a PNG file that was not thumbnailed using
GIMP, and that also caused a thumbnail to be generated for that file.
