Bug Description

What is expected to happen:
.exe files in File Manager has an icon based on their embedded icon and a generic "Wine program" icon

What happened instead:
The default icon for application/x-ms-dos-executable is shown instead

Based on the description in Ubuntu Software Center, I tried to launch it via Terminal, but it gives the error (as shown in the screenshot):
md5sum: : No such file or directory
/usr/bin/gnome-exe-thumbnailer.sh: line 134: printf: 0x: invalid hex number
wrestool: : No such file or directory
cp: missing destination file operand after `/tmp/tmp.Xq306YvS7d'
Try `cp --help' for more information.

gnome-exe-thumnailer.sh takes two arguments: INPUTFILE and OUTPUTFILE. Without them just throws an error.

But the thumbnailing in Oneiric obviously does not work because GNOME 3 changed the way which are thumbnailers registered to the system; instead of gconf it now uses .thumnailer (similar to .desktop) files in usr/share/thumbnailers. Just put the attached file there, and it should work.

  * New version (thanks Jan Nekvasil)
