This works in an opposite way in EOG currently. The window size will be
increased to the image size. If the image is larger than the screen it
will be zoomed to 75% of the size of the screen.

I really like this behavior with regards to the Eog shell. If I start eog
and open an image, than I wan to see the image fullsized. It's annyoing to
make it fit manually everytime.

So do you want to change this completely to the nautilus way? I think
this sucks in the eog shell case (but of course is reasonable for
nautilus).

so - the zoom feature is/was a Nautilus feature. I do miss it. It's very 
handy when an image automagically scales to fit height or width of 
window, whichever it "hits" first.
