Yes, thanks.

But there IMHO there is an additional (probably personal and stupid)
question: following HIG EOG and GGV (just for example) should be labeled
in Application menu as "Image Viewer" and "PostScript Viever", as gedit
is only "Text Editor".

This is right, but how can user distinguish between a "image viewer
(application)" like EOG and a "image viewer (component)" like image
viewer[1]?



[1] Yeah, I know that EOG 'manage' image viewer component :-)

Occhi da orientale che raccontano emozioni
sguardo limpido di aprile di dolcissime illusioni
tutto scritto su di un viso che non riesce ad imparare
come chiudere fra i denti almeno il suo dolore
