seb128, 2010-05-31: do we need to edit eog? didn't we say we would use shotwell as the default browser? could you document the choice on a wikipage maybe for users who wonder why we decided on this change?

If F-Spot is removed from the default install, I believe that leaves just Tomboy as the only Mono application in the default install. If Tomboy were to be replaced with Gnote, Mono could be removed, thus saving lots of space on the install CD.

Shotwell review - (some good background) http://

The EOG change is to switch the edit button from opening the selected image in F-Spot to opening it in Shotwell. EOG remains as the default image viewer.
