I didn't think of filing a bug report as it just seemed like another 
deleted piece of the new paradigm. So. I just jumped through the hoops 
to get something broken that is supposed to return the thumbnail play 
back. It does, sorta. If you google the problem it seems no one has the 
old audio/video preview with 12.04. It's just gone. At least it's gone 
as it used to be. Ric
