Electric Eyes, which seems to have replaced XView in Red Hat 6.0 for image viewing, crashes when one attempts to open GIFs. That may simply be a limitation of the program as it was written (or may be unique to my system, I have not tested it elsewhere), rather than a bug. While Electric Eyes looks better than xv, it has less functionality and the apparent inability to open something as basic as GIFs is a problem. Thanks.
I can't duplicate this one with any gif I have here. If you have one, mail it to dlt and reopen the bug.
