Not sure what's standard. I think it depends on lots of factors (such
as the main desktop environment in use). In a Gnome desktop, I'd expect
`evince` to be used for PDF and for images ... not sure ... `display`
(from Imagemagick) or `eog`, maybe?

I guess we should look at what happens on a "stock" install of
Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora to see that.
