I use gqview intensively, and never experienced any problem. I have 
compiled and installed geeqie-svn a few days ago (after reading this 
thread) and used it everyday since then. I experienced many crashes! May 
I suggest we keep gqview until geeqie reaches its first stable version? 
Perhaps you can replace gqview-devel with geeqie though.
