It look like she is talking about the xloadimage program.  xloadimage is
a good image viewer/slideshow that handles gif, x bitmap, x window dump,
portable pixmps, etc.  

xloadimage can display images in a window or on the root window.  If you
name the executable "xview" (or set up a link), several default options are
set, and the image will appear in a window.

You can obtain xloadimage from export.lcs.mit.edu in the contrib directory.
It is portable code that compiles nicely on every X box I have tried so
far, including the hp 9000/700 series.
