+Subject: [PATCH] Revert "thumbnails: Create larger thumbnails for higher
+ density displays"
+
+This reverts commit 278435e3c20244b48986c6cd8b72c5317668c72d.
+
+glib2 do not handle x-large and xx-large case so G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH
+simply return nothing. That makes nautilus think the thumbnail should be
+generated again which is a dead loop.
