I didn't find a whole lot of info on how nautilus interacts with the
thumbnailers.
This cached ximian page explains it though:

Looking at the other gnome thumbnailers, each is standalone and uses
the relevant application library.

Is x_image.c suitable as a starting point for a gschem thumbnailer?

ps. Why doesn't nautilus allow svg for it's thumbnails? Or does it?
The png thumbnails look horrible when viewing with large icons.
