Instead of $HOME/.thumbnails we should use the location defined in the latest thumbnails spec http://specifications.freedesktop.org/thumbnail-spec/thumbnail-spec-latest.html

For every user, there must be exactly one place where all generated thumbnails are stored. This thumbnails directory is located in the user's XDG Cache Home, as defined by the XDG Base Directory Specification. Namely, if the environment variable $XDG_CACHE_HOME is set and not blank then the directory $XDG_CACHE_HOME/thumbnails will be used, otherwise $HOME/.cache/thumbnails will be used
