I think it's an older GNOME image viewer called "Electric Eyes":

  "Electric Eyes

   Red Hat Advanced Development Labs. Electric Eyes is a new,
   Linux/GNOME-based image viewer by The Rasterman (who's perhaps better
   known for his spectacularly fancy Enlightenment desktop). It is also
   one of the prototype applications for Imlib, an X-based imaging
   toolkit described in Chapter 16, “Other Libraries and Concluding
   Remarks”.
