Subject: eog: exits without any appropriate error message or exit code if image is not accessible
Package: eog
Version: 2.14.3-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

If you start eog with an image file name on the command line and the image is unaccessible for eog e.g. because 
belonging to another user and having rights set to 600 (as it's the case with screenshots made during the graphical 
install and you want wo view them afterwards with your freshly created normal user), it exits with exit code zero and 
without any error message.

The same happens if you select such a file from the open dialog and try to open it: eog exits and gives not any hint 
why it did that nor what caused the exit. Besides that: If you try to open an unreadable file via the open dialog, 
the program should not exit completely but instead return to the open dialog and showing an appropriate error 
message.

In this state, eog should in no case in the Debian default installation since it does not interact with the user 
appropriately.
