Well since i haven't used it before ( am a KDE user ) , possibly i might
have misunderstood something for example if one of my images was saying
at the bottom line ( Trasfering data from ... ) might have given me the
impression that eog was trying to access the net not the local image file .

(eog:3742): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_origin: assertion `window != 
NULL' failed

Now the above message was something i got from eog , i don't think it's
very important but i don't understand either .

One thing I've found  annoying about various viewers that I've tried, is 
how slow it is

Am uncertain on what you mean here . For example i tried eog for a 
second time today ( the open directory option ) on a directory
with 100 images . Everything was straight forward . I even changed
to full screen and the delay between 2 images was no more than a second
maximum 2 seconds . Same deal is with gthumb , i can't speak about 
Nautilus since i haven't used it.
