Gthumb is normally available for thumbnailing. To be honest,
this section was written by someone else, as I didn't have a
digital camera available to me at the time. I would guess
that it's either gphoto2 (more a CLI than a GUI app) or, more
likely, f-spot. I personally like GQview, which is available in
extras, for jpeg viewing.
I would suggest that the document should state clearly
what application is in use.
Connecting a camera in the way described
does not bring up gthumb or f-spot on my Fedora-6 + KDE machine.

GNOME is the default desktop manager in Fedora Core 6.
The desktop manager can be selected at installation time to
be GNOME or KDE or even xfce. Currently there's a very
active group working to provide full KDE functionality for KDE.
Historically, GNOME has been better supported, but this is
definitely changing.
Again, I suggest that it should say that
it is assumed the user is running Gnome,
if that is indeed the assumption.
