I have uploaded geeqie 1:1.5.1-2 to unstable where I have cherry-picked a patch that was applied upstream recently - Could you please try that version out and reply back confirming that it fixes the problem (or not)?
The patch: http://geeqie.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=geeqie.git;a=commit;h=fdb45ac5f99283775d655fa36b23b4be7905951e thanks for your patience -- Andreas Rönnquist gus...@debian.org
