Hmm, I don't see any such text, though I do see a creeping progress bar
showing that the program is doing something while decoding a JPEG that
it's about to show.

I've seen various similar things from lots of different programs, though
I don't get anything like that with eog (on FC4).  I don't know whether
they're important error messages, or not.  But I get the impression that
some programmers don't run their programs from the command line, don't
see the warnings, and consider that if their program doesn't
spectacularly bomb out, that all is well.  Start up evolution from the
command line, and you get a flurry of complaints while it starts up.

I don't have the fastest of machines (450-560 MHz PCs), but none of
these Linux picture viewing/browsing applications come close to the
speed of Irfanview, for example, running on Windows on the same box.
They're slow to start, and slow to flip between images.
