It looks like gThumb does a lot of nice things, but not what I want. As
nearly as I can figure out, it only lets you sort the items in a catalog
by name, size, date or path--that is, by data already linked with the
image. I haven't figured out how to rearrange the ordering of the images
in an order I want. Ideally I would be able to do that by drag-and-drop,
much like one can do with slides in an Impress presentation.

I've seen very snazzy presentations of photos, and I can't believe that
people created them by painstakingly renaming each image so it appeared
in the desired order.
