hum... okay. I am not that familiar with eog, so can't really help more with it. For firefox, I just found the following tidbit: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg07375.html basically, svgz should be gzip'd svg files. For some reason, Firefox cannot deal with local svgz files, but can display it when served the correct HTTP headers from a webserver. This would explain why it worked on my box (because I only looked at svg files on the web). Which means, possibly, that if you have a webserver (Apache) set up on your box, you might be able to look at the svgz files by serving it via http://localhost/file.svgz?
