  Hmm... about xv having a broken GUI - I am not that sure about it. I keep 
going back to it whenever I really have to arrange large collections of 
photos - none of the other programs come even close in usability, stability, 
minimum number of clicks needed to perform tasks and the speed of the image 
previewer and integrated file manager. 

   I think that both Raster and Mosfet were right when they went for 
inspiration to xv
