There are at least two tools to  achieve this goal:  Try xloadimage or
xgif  (now  xv).   They   should  be   available  at  any  archive  of
comp.sources.x. xv is being posted two months ago, xloadimage nearly 5
months ago.

Hope this helps!

P.S.: I'd prefer xloadimage. It can display  much more graphic formats
than  just gif89a. xv also can  more than just  gif, but xloadimage is
faster, does dithering  on  monochrome monitors, can set X-background,
can do any combination of multiple pictures into one, etc.
