GTKRawGallery software is an open source image viewer with camera raw files support written in Python and pygtk for Linux O.S.
Why should you try it? Because it has all you need from an image viewer: it's very fast (tested with over than 10 Mb files) and light (less than 1900 code lines with a clean syntax for simple maintenance); finally, thanks to raw support, it's the definitive solution to manage your photos!
