YaST says feh is aimed at console users, so not apparently suited to my intended OP meaning of "simple installation" (use by a simpleton, a point&clicker). XV sounds like its power is likely to overwhelm a point&clicker, but will give it a looksee.
And gphoto2 for camera access. Ruled out by OP (non-GTK).
The reason I mention gphoto2 is that it is one of the application that handles phone image access/download (very capable too), feh is the swiss-army-knife of image viewers. Small, fast, capable. It is a graphical app, but generally launched from the command line. Traditional Linux interface. Rt-click on the image brings up the menus -- like icewin/blackbox/fluxbox/etc..) xv is similar, but probably has a few more toys. The reason I would sky away from Gwenview, etc.., is they drag a lot of KDE in to support them. (gwenview may be better than the apps starting with K...) I never liked loading a 3M app and having 90M of dependencies piled on. I don't know why non-Gtk should even be an issue. Gtk apps require only the Gtk libraries (not a bunch of Gnome related dependencies). If you have Gimp installed, you already have everything you needed. If not, the entire Gtk+2 lib is a little over 6M installed, 9M for Gtk+3. Trivial size. -- David C.
