I just checked the source code in NSWorkspace we have in place for the 
thumbnails and I don't quite see, how the behaviour you described could 
happen. If GSUseFreedesktopThumbnails is YES, we try to access the 
thumbnail with a specific name. Could you please check in your 
$HOME/.thumbnails directory whether there are already wrong thumbnails 
for the PDF files. I know it is a bit hard to get the connection between 
a file name and its thumbnail file correct, but you could just add a 
write statement in the NSWorkspace code to display this relationship. If 
there aren't any relevant thumbnails or if these thumbnails are specific 
to each file, then the thumbnail creation is correct and we have a 
problem in the GNUstep image selection code.

On the other hand, it could well be that this is a GWorkspace issue and 
completely unrelated to the code in NSWorkspace that I checked.
