Suggestion: Opened collection from command line should display

Hi!

 First time posting to this list, but I've been using gqview for a couple of
years now, and it's my favorite viewer.  :D  This has really hit home since
I've built a KDE-only backup box, and noticed that image quality in
full-screen, zoomed mode far surpasses that of Kuickshow.  Great job!

 I've now run gqview from the command line a few times (over a forwarded X
connection, yet) and observed some behavior that is not intuitive.  Running
"gqview -s ~/.gqview/collections/whatever.gqv" does start the program in
slideshow mode, but it displays the first image it finds in whatever
directory I'm in when I start it.  The behavior I expected is that gqview
should start displaying images from the opened collection.

 Does that sound reasonable?

 BTW, the *reason* I'm trying to open a collection from the command line is
that, run on a remote system (30 feet away) forwarded by "ssh -X", gqview
1.5.4 crashes if I use any menus or allow a tooltip to appear.  I will
attempt to generate a meaningful backtrace so this might, possibly, be
solved.  :)
