EoG - adding --geometry option




a feature that seems to be missing from EoG is a "--geometry WidthxHeight+Xpos+Ypos" parameter

similar to what gnome-terminal has (and IIRC 25 years ago all X-Windows programs had)

it would be a very welcome addition for the following reason

when doing something like "eog *.jpg" on a directory of photo's, the orientation and size of the first picture will determine the window size, however if the orientation of the next photo is different, you will get gray bands and a zoomed-out image

with a --geometry parameter, you could open photos in a square window by defining something like 'alias eog="eog --geometry 720x720"'

an alternative way would be to have a "--square" parameter that would open in a square window as large as the longest side of the photo

I started looking into adding this feature to the source myself and rebuilding the code, but if you're not familiar with all the required libraries and dependencies the latter appears to be not for the faint of heart
