This is unacceptable to me - it clutters up the videos and loses the  
chronology of camera pics/movies.

I've been investigating external apps and this seems to be a common  
failing in linux-land - there's plenty of image viewers & video players  
but few try to handle both.

I'm going to use xbmc (invoked from Myth menu). It's a bit flashy (I use a  
Retro theme with disabled previews) but that's ok for showing photos. I  
believe there's a minor issue with videos in one mode but I can browse &  
slideshow photos/videos easily enough. And it works!

Regarding Myth, I suppose we should raise a trac ticket and see what  
happens to it...
