Your "closing" is bogus.  It's clearly wrongheaded behaviour for Eye of
Gnome to open a .gif file, yet refuse to allow you to save that .gif
file.  My wife uses Thunderbird for email and opened an attachment which
was a .gif file then wanted to save that same file, unchanged.  Eye of
Gnome threw up a confusing message saying that it was unable to save
that file, despite having the raw bytes sitting right there on its
input.

This is either:

a) a valid bug in Eye of Gnome, or alternatively;

b) a bug in Ubuntu using Eye of Gnome as the default viewer for .gif
files.
