Hi,

You wrote "default image viewer" and then list edition options, eog is
used right now because of several reasons:
- it's part of GNOME (regular tarballs, schedule aligned on ubuntu, good
translations)
- it has a simple interface which is want you want for a viewer, gthumb
has lot of extra options which can be useful but complicate the
interface
- edition can be done using an image editor, ie f-spot or gimp by
example
