Description:
qiv is a simple image viewer based on imlib. It offers slideshow features with many different options, such as:
- "random" mode, i.e. slideshows pictures in random order
- "shuffle" mode, similar to random mode with previous/next capability (history-like)

Shuffle mode appears not to work properly in Archlinux: previous/next works, but images are not displayed in random order.

I have personnally discussed with qiv developper about this issue, but he has not been able to reproduce it. I tried qiv on other Linux distros (Ubuntu...), and shuffle mode works as expected there. So this issue is specific to Arch.

Both i686 and x86_64 are affected.


Additional info:
* package version(s): qiv-2.1, qiv-2.2 (haven't tried earlier versions)
* config and/or log files etc.: ask for some if needed


Steps to reproduce:
Lets say my photos are stored in /home/user/photos
qiv -rsu /home/user/photos starts a random slideshow, and works as expected
qiv -Ssu /home/user/photos starts a shuffled slideshow, previous/next functions work but the slideshow is not randomized.
This task depends upon
