a couple annoyances in gqview

I love gqview.  Its fast, easy, and good.

There are a couple of things that bug me about it, however.

If you are viewing in a huge directory (65k+ files), and a new file is
added to the dir, the program locks up while it loads the new file
into the list.  Sometimes it remains hosed for 10 minutes or longer.
CPU spikes to ~100% while it deals, too.  It would be nice to handle
this situation better.

The find duplicates by checksum functionality frequently shows false
positives (it thinks images are the same, but they aren't.)  Perhaps
it could use a MD5 checksum of the files, which I imagine would cut
down collisions (and increase processing time).

When I select a huge directory with gqview, the total directory size
at the bottom of the screen is a negative number, indicating overflow
in the value.  Seems like this should be at least an unsigned value,
if not a larger data type.
