Seejpeg is not X.  I have it working with text-only links and lynx.  It
would not view a jpeg that had been edited (Adobe photoshop?) and a few
others encountered online. I have one outdated DOS viewer which also won't
view certain jpegs.

Seejpeg views jpegs and gifs.  I think zgv also views other formats such
as png.  

Has anyone tried ImageMagick?
