what you are trying to achieve is of course the most common operation with 
eog and should work flawlessly (which it does for me by the way :).

I suggest the following things:

1. Issue the following command on a shell: 
>    bonobo-activation-run-query "iid=='OAFIID:GNOME_EOG_Control'"
This should result something like this:

If this works, the bonobo framework finds the eog image view server. 

2. Start the eog image view server manually on a commandline and see if 
this spew out some messages:
> ${gnome install prefix}/libexec/eog-image-viewer
