There is a known bug in dev-python/imaging-1.1.7 that has a trivial fix: http://hg.effbot.org/pil-2009-raclette/changeset/355 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2011-January/006633.html When calling ".show()", it launches ALL available image viewers, instead of the first one. Needless to say, it is very inconvenient, as most people will have 'display' (from imagemagick) as well as 'xdg-open'. The solution is very simple, just add "return" statement to one line. See the patch from the changeset linked above.
