As far as I know, directory bundles are a concept existing only on MacOS X. 
The file browsers on Linux/Unix will treat your directory as any other 
directory.

You may try to add a .directory file to your dir, which tries to set the MIME 
type and an icon. It may be wholly ignored, since the MIME type should derive 
from whatever the system uses for directories (I don't know if 
inode/directory is a KDE concept or a global one).

As for thumbnailing, you're not going to get it cross-desktop, period.
