I keep losing those snazzy screen grab icons

Ubuntu Users,
Up until recently, whenever I had an AVI or MPG or any kind of video file on my desktop, the icon for that file would be a screen grab from within that video.
However, recently I did a clean up of the video and audio programs I had on disk. After experimenting around, I've decided that Amarok handles all my audio needs, and Xine handles all my video needs. I never used programs like XMMS or Totem. I had almost a dozen others that I tried out but decided against.
So I used Synaptic to remove them. I must have lost a dependancy or something, because now video files don't have those snazzy screen grab icons, they just all have the same document icon with the letters "AVI" or "MPEG" on them.
This is a minor issue, but those attractive screen grab icons made me happy. So I'd like to get them back.
Actually, when I first installed Ubuntu, it didn't default to having these snazzy icons. If I recall correctly, the solution was to have Gstreamer installed. So I've made sure that I do, but I don't have my icons back.
I'd like to get the screen grab icons back without having to install video player applications that I don't use, if possible. But, if it's absolutely necessary, I guess I will.
Does anyone know what package or library module is responsible for displaying video file icons as images from the video?
