Of course I can correct the position every time. But this way it is just
not as comfortable as EOG. In most cases the object is in the middle or in
the near of the middle. But it is never in the upper left corner.

Next to the arrow buttons for going to next/previous photo and for turning
photos. Look at EOG's (Eye of Gnome) design please.
Yes, the button is lost in fullscreen too, another issue. There is no way
to move the button so far.

I see :) Thanks for the hint. Maybe there can be an option to configure
this behaviour.

Yes, exactly those buttons. Like EOG.
