My apologies for misunderstanding the question. I am doing something very much like this in gfig, using the following code (simplified a little bit): if (! back_pixbuf) back_pixbuf = gimp_image_get_thumbnail (image_id, preview_width, preview_height, GIMP_PIXBUF_LARGE_CHECKS); if (back_pixbuf) gdk_draw_pixbuf (preview->window, preview->style->fg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL], back_pixbuf, 0, 0, 0, 0, gdk_pixbuf_get_width (back_pixbuf), gdk_pixbuf_get_height (back_pixbuf), GDK_RGB_DITHER_NONE, 0, 0); Here "preview" is a GtkDrawingArea. You can create a thumbnail up to 512 x 512 in this way. (Incidentally, thanks to Sven for improving the code I originally wrote to do this.)
