welcome to the world of bonobo. eog-image-viewer is a bonobo server, which
is re-used for every image you open. Only opening the first image when
there is no other instance already needs some more time, because the
server must be started by bonobo-activation. Problem: If you view images
one after another, the server is shut down/started every time :-/. Indeed, 
this needs fixing on some level (bonobo/b-a-s/nautilus).
