+xzgv is a picture viewer for X, with a thumbnail-based file selector.
+It uses GTK+ and Imlib. Most file formats are supported, and the
+thumbnails used are compatible with xv, zgv, and the Gimp. It can also
+be used with `xzgv file(s)', to effectively bypass the file selector.
+For more on how xzgv works and how to use it, do `info xzgv' or `man
+xzgv' once it's installed.
+
+xzgv differs from other picture viewers for X in that it uses one
+window for both the file selector and viewer, it (unlike xv) allows
+both scrolling and fit-to-window methods of viewing large pictures,
+and it (unlike xv and some others) doesn't ever mangle the picture's
+aspect ratio without you telling it to.
+
+It also provides extensive keyboard support; if you prefer using the
+keyboard, this is almost certainly the best viewer for you. But it
+doesn't skimp on the mousey stuff, either.
