File thumbnail should be used as window icon

Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Well, gnome tends to be document-centric rather than app-centric, and other gnome apps already use the file thumbnail as a window icon rather than the app logo, such as EOG and Evince (as of 0.7.2)...

So, why shouldn't Totem do the same?

Upstream added a sreenshot and some comments:

"In Epiphany we dropped that because of the big mess it could take too.
IMHO, it's easier to look for the totem icon than for a $something-im-seeing
icon

Doesn't look too useful (although I'd have implemented it using libgnomeui's
thumbnailing functions, so we only used ready made thumbnails).

Sebastien, does your reporter like the result? I don't think it's useful, but
maybe he's got some more hindsight into its usefulness..."

I think upstream has a point, the icon is too small to benefit from that and it's rather confusing, do you still think that's a good idea?

They do have a point indeed, mainly because of what Bastien says: "only one instance of Totem can be started at a time".

I think that -together with your quote- is a good reason to keep the Totem icon even if EOG and Evince use the document thumbnail.
