Anyway, eog is only 600k. It doesn't worth discussing/arguing about it.
If some people want it, let it be and let's move to next :-)
Good point. However, it's not just a matter of disk space. It also means one more item in the "Graphics" menu - which is a bigger deal.
For what it's worth, I do think a *really* quick/simple image viewer makes sense to have separate from a more powerful (read: slower to start-up) image/photo browser.
It would be cool if gThumb defaulted to a simpler (just the image) view when opened with only one image - in that case, it would eliminate the need for eog.
