) xloadimage works just fine for this.  If you don't have it, I'm sure there
) are plenty of people on the net who can get you a copy.

xloadimage is a great program, I use it all the time.  Another great
program to display gif images is xgif.  The one feature that xgif has
that I could not find in xloadimage is the ability to resize the image
remarkabley well by resizing the window.  xloadimage can resize images
by only by setting the window size of using fullscreen.  Of course
xloadimage does panning if you have made the window smaller than the
image.  Just thought I would mention an alternative and mention some
of the differences.
