   I downloaded earlier package(s) from snapshot.debian.org....and 
installed them -gthumb AND gthumb.data. Much to my chagrin, the old 
version ran, but there is some incompatibility because all the thumbs of
jpegs in various directories on on my machine were distorted and 
mis-placed on the page. I never did sort it out, but still swear under 
my breath at gnome and gthumb developers :) I am back to the old NEW 
version which I hate with a passion.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.
