[Bf-python] Blender Launching an external image editor.

[Campbell Barton]

Hi, this is a script that launchs the gimp on linux, to edit.
Its nice because you dont have to ferrit around to open a uv texture map.

I was wondering if this is somthing people would like to get working 
with Win32/Gimp/Photoshop.

Also, it would be cool if image relaod in the image window was Alt+R, 
just like the text window.
