Keep in mind that:
* The number of thumbnails per line depends on the window size.
* This window will usually be full-screen, given that it transforms into
modules.
* At smaller sizes, the thumbnails are much harder to make out. Take a look
at Stuart's screenshot:
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4088188/StartCenter_1920x1200HD_fully_populated_18-thumbnails_with_vertical_scroll.jpg.
The presentations are easy to make out, but the documents can be hard
to
make out, even at this size.
