Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS (or upgrade from 16.04 LTS)
2. Create text file somewhere (in home folder for example) with `echo text > ~/file.txt`.
3. Open Caja in home folder
Expected results:
* Caja shows preview (the contents) of `file.txt` in Icon view.
Actual results:
* Caja does not show preview of `file.txt`.
Notes:
1. all settings in Preview tab are set to *Local Only*
2. this happens on clean user profile and/or after `dconf reset -f /` and `gsettings reset-recursively org.mate.caja`
