This is exactly the type of behaviour that silly know-nothing users
like myself expect. When viewing thumbnails, I expect a click on a
thumbnail to bring up a large image. I expect another click on the
picture to bring me back to the thumbnails view. This is how every
other software (picassa, F-Spot) works. F3 is unintuitive, and the
wife will never find it (or accept that it is there).

Having clicks open the image editor is terrible. This should be configurable.
