Program for watching photos

I can open images with GIMP, but I need something more comfortable with something like slide shows etc.
Maybe something like "windows picture and fax viewer".
Sugestions?

Re: Program for watching photos

I use eog (eye of gnome) for all my image watching, it's pretty fast and has slideshows and such. I think you can safely compare it to that windows program you mentioned.
You can try apps like feh too, which are more lightweight. If you like more suggestions: pacman -Ss image|grep -i view -B 1 .

There is also digikam (KDE), which is very good for managing the photos, although you didn't asked for this feature.

I use digikam. I have 400MB of pix backed up on Google's picasa web albums which also does nice slide shows.
