Hi, I don't know why xine is behaving differently than mplayer, but I
think the reason nautilus only show thumbnails of mpeg is because it
uses totem-video-thumbnailer which uses gstreamer,  unless you have
installed totem-xine from livna (if that the case, ignore the rest of
this email). 

Gstreamer supports for MS movies (.avi, .asf, .wmv) depends on the
available gstreamer-plugins. 

I installed the following plugins:

gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio-0.8.10-0.gst.1.4 [1]
gstreamer-plugins-extra-video-0.8.10-0.gst.1.4
gstreamer-plugins-video-0.8.10-0.gst.1.4
gstreamer-plugins-extra-dvd-0.8.10-0.gst.1.4
gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.8.5-0.gst.1.4
gstreamer-plugins-0.8.10-0.gst.1.4


from gstreamer.freedesktop.org (plus their dependencies), and the
pitfdll gstreamer plugin (not available in rpm AFAIK) which allows
gstreamer to use the w32 codecs...

...and everything works fine (ignoring broken movie files). 
 
[1] gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio conflicts with gstreamer-plugins-mp3
from livna, if I'm not mistaken.
