There are a handful of gallery and tutorial examples that are missing thumbnails:

The examples lacking thumbnails should be updated so that either:

• A thumbnail is chosen from the example
• A thumbnail is manually set

And yes, it's understandable that some of these don't have thumbnails, but then maybe we need a different section in the docs for non-graphical examples?

This is an inventory assuming #17477 goes in & a later upgrade to sphinx 0.7.1
