Just for grins and giggles, rename one of the files from <file>.jpeg to 
<file>.jpg and then check if gthumb sees it.

gthumb seems to have  problems with the 4 letter extension.  This is a bug.

I think that the author of gthumb might have gone to file extension 
definitions instead of the more reliable 'file type' tests.
