feh is a fast, lightweight image viewer that uses imlib2. It is command line-driven and supports multiple images through slideshows, thumbnail browsing or multiple windows, and montages or index prints using TrueType fonts to display file information. Advanced features include fast dynamic zooming, progressive loading, loading via HTTP (with reload support for watching webcams), recursive file opening (slideshow of a directory hierarchy), and mouse wheel and keyboard control.

You should mention that giblib is also required -- couldn't build without it.
Thumbs up!
An excellent little program that does just what's it supposed to do; made setting up an automated picture slideshow a snap. Getting the sucker to compile, on the other hand, was a bit of a pain -- but the blame for that goes to imlib (try 1.0.5 instead 1.0.6) and giblib.
