 * The documents I have are more technical, and don’t lend themselves well to attractive
   thumbnails. I would like to be able to manually set a thumbnail image for each
   document.

 * You can do exactly that. Just go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery-
   > Thumbnail Management and set your icons. Or you can do it from the attachment
   edit dialog.

 * I saw the upload option in the thumbnail management, but after the upload, nothing
   changed – no notifications of any sort, and I kept seeing errors in the log about
   image editor not being found

 * If an image editor can’t be found then yes, uploads will fail since we resize
   at upload time to your configured thumb size. You need either DG or IMagick to
   be configured. This is a standard WP requirement and you’re going to have a number
   of more general issues if you don’t have that minimum requirement met.
