Use the xv program.  Once you have the picture up on the screen, make
a box using the middle mouse button, then use the right button to
bring up the picture editor.  Press the crop button, and then save it.

I have no idea where this program was originally received from, but
I've seen a lot of references to it in this group.  You might
check some back posts of this group.  (Try the file locator server
archie if you want to go the easy way.)
