Well we should be adding lots of stuff to the application battery. Adding
the Gimp would be great but a lot of work due to the huge list of
dependencies. No one has gotten around to it yet. If anyone wants to
volunteer work on gimp that would be great.
I think xv was picked because it was a non-free application with few
dependencies which provides a simple propriatary ISV application example.
Maybe it was a poor choice...
