Maybe.

If gthumb has stopped wasting space with a second titlebar directly above
the image instead of using the actual title bar I'll give it another try.

There were are few other things about gthumb that I wasn't entirely happy
about but every so often I try gThumb again and file another few requests
and I'll probalby switch to it eventually.  (Could still do with a cross
platform gtk based thumbnail browser properly integrated with gimp and
inkscape.)

On the rare occassions I use it the check for duplicates functionality in
gqview is brilliant though, shame it is not seperate library resuable by
other graphics applications.
