In my experience, and just verified by looking what eog does nowadays
(==not much), eog and gthumb cannot be even compared. Gthumb is what I
call an image viewer application, eog is a dumb "open this one image for
me" application. If you ask me, eog as an image viewer application is 2
megabytes of wasted diskspace. Ok since it's used by nautilus then
that's a justification for it's existence but can we please throw it out
of the menu and replace it with gthumb as the default "Image Viewer"
application?

Totally in agreement, can we make gthumb default instead of eog for FC3?
