Dear LyX developers,
I added some X-Apps just behind their anchestors (GNOME equivalents) to
configure.py.
However, there are open points from the discussion:

I propose to place "notepad" at the end of the text editor selection list:
checkViewerEditor('a text editor',
['xemacs', 'gvim', 'kedit', 'kwrite', 'kate',
- 'nedit', 'gedit', 'notepad',
- 'geany', 'leafpad', 'mousepad', 'xed'],
+ 'nedit', 'gedit', 'geany', 'leafpad', 'mousepad', 'xed', 'notepad'],
* Notepad under Wine is not a good choice for Linux
(but comes with wine by default)
* Windows users will not have the Linux programs and not be disturbed.
An exception is "geany" that may also be present under Windows.
If this is an issue, we can put "geany" at the end, too.

Here, I propose to add the most common image viewers to the selection list:
- path, iv = checkViewerNoRC('a raster image viewer', ['xv', 'kview',
'gimp-remote', 'gimp'], rc_entry = [imageformats])
- path, ie = checkEditorNoRC('a raster image editor', ['gimp-remote',
'gimp'], rc_entry = [imageformats])
+ path, iv = checkViewerNoRC('a raster image viewer',
+ ['xv', 'kview', 'eog', 'xviewer', 'ristretto', 'gpicview',
'lximage-qt',
+ 'gimp-remote', 'gimp'],
+ rc_entry = [imageformats])
+ path, ie = checkEditorNoRC('a raster image editor',
+ ['gimp-remote', 'gimp'], rc_entry = [imageformats])
eog: Eye of Gnome, the Gnome default viewer
xviewer: Eye of Gnome successor for MATE and Cinnamon
ristretto: XFCE image viewer
gpicview: LXDE image viewer
lximage-qt: QXDE image viewer
Possible other additions:
gwenview: KDE image viewer
xdg-open: generic file handler
The problem with xdg-open is, that it calls the browser
(firefox) as fallback. This is not good for DVI and PDF, but
may be better than Gimp for raster images.
