It's whatever the default windows viewer is :-) .. so if I double-
click on
the image in the filemanager it fires it up and shows it. This works
in XP and Windows 7 and Vista (ie double clicking on the image and
having it display).

I dug around in the docs and found a named parameter that I can set
when I
call show.

Definition:     im.show(self, title=None, command=None)

I installed irfanview and specified it/its path in the parameter,
but that didn't work either. It's really quite puzzling in the
case of Vista since that's been around for quite a few years now.
