Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eog

Since hardy, opening an arbitrary image file with eog (Eye of GNOME) may
bring up an initial window with an unsufficiant height.

As long as an image is smaller than eog's default window size,
everything is fine and eog displays the image centered in its window.

But if an image is higher that eog's default window size, eog seems to
miscalculate an appropriate height for its window to show the image
completely in its original size. Even if there is enough screen space,
eog opens a window that is too low so the image inside is scaled down to
e.g. 98%.

At work, I often have to preview image files containing pixel graphics.
It is important that they are shown unscaled. In feisty and gutsy, I
used eog for this task because it started very fast and showed the
images accurately. Unfortunately, starting with hardy, using eog makes
things unconvenient. Each time I open eog, I have to manually drag the
window bigger to see the image unscaled.

When eog starts, its initial window should at least be wide and high
enough to show the selected image unscaled if possible.
