Details

Description:
Due to incompatibilities with the newer GTK, gimageview shows no scroll bar and segfaults when keyboard scrolling is attempted.

Additional info:
* http://bugs.debian.org/521598
* I have confirmed this bug on x86 and x86_64.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install gimageview
2. Run gimv
3. Open a folder with images in it
4. Try to use the keyboard to scroll

Other parts of the app are broken, as well. It seems it's not had a release since 2004, so this is probably (sadly) a candidate for removal. Anyone know of another photo manager that can open a folder of 700+ files and exist in under 10MB of RAM? Even rox uses 27MB on the same folder.
This task depends upon

I don't know, Sadly enough you are right about the removal. I use geeqie and gqview. I don't know about the memory footprint though, I just buy new RAM :P

It's definetely worth to remove if it's not released in the last 5 years :)

Debian has removed this from their repos. We should also remove it to prevent people from installing broken software and also so we can close this bug.
