Sorry, I didn't explain myself enough.

file.png is supposed to exist. The "touch" just causes the thumbnail to be 
regenerated and the files to be rearranged.

I can't get the overlapping anymore, but I was just looking at a really funny 
effect: under certain circustances, at each "touch file" the picture moves a 
bit to the right.

Look at the attached screenshot:
The image on the lower right corner used to be there. I deleted the image to 
its left and keep touching it.

I mean, start with:

A B
C D

delete C.

then

repeate 10000 { sleep 1; touch D }


Now, D will move to the right

A B
     D

Until it leaves the screen, at which point it will go under A - place left by 
C - and start moving right again, like a typewriter. The snapshot was taken 
at halfway through this route. Could this be a rounding error, where it moves 
one pixel per update?

Unlike the previous problem, this one goes away as soon as you resize, so this 
is a major improvement over the current CVS behaviour already.

Looks nice. Didn't test it as much yet, though.
