[poppler] thumbnails

Because are of hardcoded and makes no sense in a world were most PDF viewers 
let you resize randomly the thumbnail bar. Also i'm not sure if the number of 
PDF files with embedded thumbnails is "high".

Right, the Qt4 bindings don't expose thumbnail reading, if you'd like to have 
them, do you think you can contribute a patch?
