After answering Dan's question, I installed gqview to check it out.
It sigsegv's on everything I tried to view, jpg, gif.
Another thing, as it is a viewer, I would have expected it to be in
the Apps/Viewer section. Instead it's in Apps/Graphics along with
the Gimp. Odd.
I will file a bug report on this, if it has not already been done.
