I have updated the Debian readme, see https://salsa.debian.org/debian/geeqie/-/blob/6d2981da5cc18ff008c1fab161d1b5ab188ac2c3/debian/README.Debian - removing the mentioning of gqview (the information seems a bit outdated), and adding info about GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS instead. It will be published in the Debian repos when I do a new release. And again, thank you for all your work on Geeqie. best /Andreas Rönnquist gus...@debian.org
