Nothing, it is just there in the directory.

Here, too (even when I browsed to the file using Gwenview, which can show xcf 
itself, there is only the normal image icon). KDE apparently doesn’t create 
thumbnails of xcf files, which makes this even more curious.

I noticed that OOo always crashed in ~ (and because that is the default after 
starting OOo and hitting Ctrl+O, it was quite noticable). I’ve had such a 
problem before, but with GTK (firefox crashed when using "Save as" and showing 
~). So I moved away all files from ~, opened OOo and opened the file selector. 
Then I put the files back step by step and reopened the file selector, until I 
encountered the crash again.

It’s not happening here now. Recently I cleared ~/.thumbnails for some 
unrelated reason, perhaps that had an effect. I could have scratched something 
completely different, deeper within KDE. But still, OOo crashed where others 
did not.


About mixing different releases: the only package I have installed from the 
unstable repo "zaubberer" is the Java program tvbrowser.
