The other day, Emacs (Gnus) decided for some reason to display a photo
by passing it to `ee`.
Does anyone know what that is? I couldn't find any trace of
it anywhere.
Any objection to the patch below?
Stefan

Seems to be "easy editor", a text editor included in FreeBSD.
,----[ excerpt from README.ee ]
| The editor 'ee' (easy editor) is intended to be a simple, easy to use
| terminal-based screen oriented editor that requires no instruction to
| use. Its primary use would be for people who are new to computers, or
| who use computers only for things like e-mail.

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”.

"@ ee
category: GNOME-apps
sdesc: "The Electric Eyes image viewer application."
ldesc: "The ee package contains the Electric Eyes image viewer for the GNOME
desktop environment. Electric Eyes is primary an image viewer, but it
also allows many types of image manipulations. Electric Eyes can
handle almost any type of image."
requires: gtk+ imlib gnome-libs libintl2 XFree86-lib-compat"
