This bug prevents Comix from displaying thumbnails, but does not cause
it to crash on my computer (I am also on Xenial).

It looks like development of Comix has stalled, but the Fedora
maintainers have continued to patch it, and have fixed this particular
bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1290632

I converted the Fedora .rpm to a .deb with alien, and was able to
install it without any complications.  After this update, Comix displays
thumbnails again.  so it should be possible to incorporate the Fedora
patches into the Ubuntu package.
