With eog you can look at multiple images in multiple windows. I guess
sushi could do this too but you'd need to open a new nautilus window
each time. Then don't ever hit space.

We could also drop totem and evince if we're planning to use sushi as
the only means for previewing files. Doesn't seem like a good idea to
me.

It's also not discoverable at all. You wouldn't know it's there unless
someone told you.  And the theme is currently a broken mess. :(
