Always great to learn new stuff.  But I just happened to notice... if I
toggle the recursive slideshow off with 's', it seems it doesn't toggle
back on again.  And clicking on the image -- which advances the picture
while a slideshow is in progress, or gqview is started in normal mode --
also no longer works once you have toggled the recursive slideshow off. 
You just get an empty image frame.

This is not important to me, since I don't use slideshow much, but I
thought I'd let you know.

Cheers,
