gthumb version: 2.7.3-0ubuntu3
Hi Daniel,

Sorry for not making my report clearer. It is not the directory that I
don't have read access to; it is the pictures.


1. First off you must start with a picture that you do not have read access to and that gthumb has not browsed previously so that the thumbnail is the "tree and the sunset" icon. 

2. Then "chmod a+r" on the picture and gthumb will not change the icon
to a thumbnail of the picture.

The only way I can see to get gthumb to build the thumbnail is rename
the file or modify it.

This situation I find is typical when you share a computer with another
user.

I hope that is clearer
Thanks.
