Ok, I give up. After the last month or so, gwenview takes literally five minutes or so to come up, gagging because I have nepomuk turned off in kde. Today, it just will not come up at all, even trying gwenview pic.jpg.
Are there any other ->light weight<- image viewers in the standard repositories, including epel? I DO NOT WANT OR NEED a "semantic desktop" (aka bloat, suitable for people who have no knowledge and don't want any of COMPUTERS (who perhaps should get a Mac)).
Note that I saw an old post from aurelian (sp?) on their website, that nepomuk wasn't for "you if you're comfortable with directories and files", which sounds like me.*
So, something that is NOT "the k3wl3st thing since sliced bread", not the "LATEST THING", but just an fscking image viewer? Is kuickshow still around (and if so, in what package)?

How much lightweight...? gqview? ImageMagick's barebone display command?

*shrug* kuickshow used to be fine. gwenview was fine, until they made nepomuk a requirement. gqview, I don't know - what CentOS package is it in? All I want is something to put a pic up on my desktop.

on 6.x the default image viewer seems to be "gthumb image viewer". Is there some reason for not using that?

Don't see it installed. I assume that's gnome, and it may not have been installed (I dislike gnome). I will say, gqview is *incredibly* fast to come up... why, you'd think I was on a 486, not an 8088. <g>

Found gqview, d/l the package from repoforge (we don't use them at work), installed it, had no trouble installing (feh wanted another repoforge lib package), and it's *just* what I wanted. Thanks muchly, John.

Hi Mark,
If you like Gqview, I recommend Geeqie (basically an improved forked who gets actually maintained).
