Have you ever checked to see what is inside a little insignificant directory named /.thumbnails inside your home directory? I accidentally came across this little gem while looking for some screenshots I grabbed off the TV today. In my /.thumbnails directory I found 12,695 files (thumbnails) totalling (only, thank heavens!) 241MB, with each file having a 32-char alphanumeric filename plus a 3-char extension (.png). And this is only 6 months worth (from July last year). A quick look shows that it would appear that everytime you look at a graphic - using what I haven't yet worked out - a thumbnail is generated here. Nearly 12,700 files....... Are these all read in everytime you atart something like Midnight Commander or konqueror (file manager)?
