To go with GQVIEW 2.0 (which would require gtk+2 etc. to compile) I 
compiled MTPAINT, a paint program like Xpaint but supposedly faster, used 
by DSL 4.2 and later, using gtk+1 (or you can compile with gtk+ 2).  I 
don't know of a way to add an external editor to gqview 1 like you can do 
with 2.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/mtpaint-3.21-glibc225.tgz

Requires a glibc X11 so won't work in BL3 even with glibc 2.2.5 added. 
It is similar in size to the Slackware 7.1 xpaint.  Under 450K as opposed 
to 370K.  The latest xpaint is probably larger.

It requires gtk .so libraries, libjpeg, libpng, libtiff, zlib, libXext, 
libX11, and glibc 2.2.5 for my package.  I included an html version of the 
very small man page and the README (which explains how to compile for 
gtk+2 using several large libraries such as pango).

Compilation required the so libraries for gtk, the includes for that and 
X11 (xprog.tgz).  I does not do gifs. (You can convert to jpeg using 
netpbm).

Crop is greyed out - why?

It successfully rotates (all angles), inverts, skews, greyscales.

What my partner wants is the crop feature...  Maybe that needs gtk2?
