I even put an Irfanview icon on the top launcher bar to start it from the Linux desktop without using menus or a terminal. But with the limited functionality, no cigar.

So the Windows installation will remain as a dual boot option until Linux becomes more mature in its applications to allow better functions without using so many menus to perform common tasks that can be done simply in Windows.

Personally I do not use InfranView. Instead I use Gimp and Picasa, and Gnome has a built-in facility to take snapshots (under Applications > Accessories > Take Screenshot.
