I swear I thought you were joking.. okay, I'll make the default
something else.

Can someone suggest a free image viewer?  I'd use "ee", but it doesn't
seem to permit setting its title bar to the key ID or fingerprint,
which I think is pretty important.  Since someone may be signing the
photo ID based on this display, I want to make sure the keyid and/or
fingerprint is extremely visible and clear on the same window that
displays the photo.
