   I have no experience with Shotwell, but the time I saw the same problem   
   with my desktop slideshow and viewer was do to the actual file being   
   displayed.   
      
   I would verify my account had full read/execute access/same as files   
   which display correctly.   
      
   I was able to find the problem files with a gui file manager which had   
   thunbnails that would not display correctly.
