Is one of them actually Eye of Gnome? Here's a snippet from the spec
file (yanked from the cvs repo):
%prep
%setup -q
echo "NoDisplay=true" >> eog.desktop.in
Eye of Gnome certainly doesn't seems to show up in my desktop menu, so
it doesn't seem to add much to the clutter.
For now, I think eog actually fills a need as a quick image previewer.
(Oh yes, it deals with SVG files as well, which is sort of useful.) At
some point maybe Evince will turn into a universal document viewer and
in that case perhaps eog can be ditched but right now it seems to be
worth keeping.
