I had a look at the log file and the following line (repeated multiple times) 
catched my attention:
read(3, 0x16d6dd4, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)

Earlier in this file, I noticed that the file descriptor 3 was used to access 
"/tmp/.X11-unix/X0":
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, 20) = 0
getpeername(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}, [20]) = 0

I've searched for the error message and it seems related more to X11 than to 
eog itself. Therefore, could you please answer the following questions?
-Are the permissions on that file are correct (run "ls -lA /tmp/.X11-unix/X0" 
from a terminal)? They should be similar to:
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2011-10-31 09:43 X0
-Could you check the permissions on the parent directory as well (should be 
like "drwxrwxrwt 2 root    root    4096 2011-10-31 09:43 .X11-unix")?
-If the permissions are not right, does fixing them work as a solution?
-Does the problem occur with other applications as well?
-Have you installed some proprietary drivers?

Thanks.
