Need File Thumbnails ?

[William Case]

Hi;

Sorry to be back with this question but it is driving me nuts.  I know
there has to be a simple answer.

Is it possible I failed to download and install a particular library or
graphics package that would make nautilus preview my *.png image files.
What is confusing is that *.png works on other people's F7 and my
nautilus previews all other image extensions.  As well, nautilus
preferences show_image_thumbnails is set to local only and shows other
extensions.

I am truly flummoxed.
