Creating a new thumbnail for a PDF document (especially with graphical front page) can be excruciatingly slow (several seconds). Of course, because we don't do this in the background (as we probably should), the user must wait for the thumbnail to be created before opening the file for reading.

Possibly related to ticket #227.

Now that we are no longer using a static poppler, we have to determine the best course of action during install. For pdf rendering, we now require the poppler library to be installed. This is normally done via yum.

If we continue to package Lucide as WPI, this requires either a readme entry, a check during install, or an external call to yum during WarpIN install to ensure that poppler is on the system.

If we now package as RPM, of course, poppler would simply become a prerequisite.

Finally, we could package without plugins, and package plugins separately (though we still must decide on the best packaging method to use for each plugin).

Not everyone wants or needs thumbnails. We should add an option in the Settings dialog to enable thumbnail creation. I still don't think that we should create thumbnails for encrypted PDFs, no matter what, but for unencrypted documents, we should provide an option.
