Nice!
Just to note, KDE/Dolphin already has built-in support for thumnbailing exe files. (Although, in Fedora at least, it's not enabled by default; just tell dolphin to show previews for "Microsoft Windows Executables".
I've also got code on the KDE reviewboard that'll take care of LNK files - if it gets picked up, that'll be natively supported by KDE too...

How does thumbnailing LNK files work? You get a Windows icon path out, which you have to convert to a *nix path - you'd have to use ~/.wine/dosdevices and do case-insensitive filename matching, and even that would only work for LNK files created by Wine, those on a Windows partition have Windows's idea of drive mappings which is probably different from Wine.

Agreed - the gnome version does look much better at the moment. Thumbnailing LNK files is done by doing a simple parse of the LNK file, and then using wine's winepath command to convert that into a wine path. (Hence "winepath" :) )
Certainly, LNK files on Windows partitions wouldn't work at all (under the current way it's being done.)
