Ah, ok. I only saw the list of modules provided by cvsgnome once, which 
lacked eog. Also, you always emphasize that cvsgnome is compatible to 
gnome 2.x.x for the _installed_ tarballs. :)

You can open a folder which contains images by using 'File->Open 
Folder...' in the eog application. It will display them in the 
collection view, which is similar to other image browser views. Also 
provides slideshow functionality from there on.
