I think I'm going to start getting bug reports about Nautilus being unable
to open images from people who have Nautilus installed but not EOG.

I think that the Nautilus viewer has features that the EOG one does not, but
they are ones you are not yet aware of.

I think that allowing users to choose interpolation options is a bizarre
excess feature for a simple image viewer, and will probably confuse the
people who notice it, but few are likely to notice it.

I'm not sure what a "grab handle" is, but I think it's strange to have a
extra scrolling UI in the image viewer as that doesn't work in any of the
other Nautilus views.

I think it's strange that this thread is not in the Nautilus list, because
many of the interested people don't subscribe to the gnome-vfs list, and
this change won't have any effect on other gnome-vfs users, despite it being
a change in the gnome-mime-data package.

But despite thinking these things, I also think it's OK to delete the
Nautilus viewer and start using the EOG one; it's nice to have less code
total in Gnome 2.
