I think that clutter libray is perfect for this.

I have found this video which demonstrates clutter capabilities:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ2RbYXyo1E

As I wrote earlier, we nedd somethink that replaces the Pan View (did you look 
at it?). Other modes, like the one that you described, are of course also 
welcome.
The clutter window should be able to run in full screen or as a alternative in 
the image window.

I think you could start with implementing a demo that will work on 
a fixed list of files that are loaded by this method:
http://developer.gnome.org/clutter/1.9/ClutterTexture.html#clutter-texture-set-from-file
Google shows a lot of code examples for similar functionality.
Then I can help with integrating with Geeqie.

Another possibility that is worth investigating would be to use Vala language 
instead of plain c. Some example is here:
