On Manjaro running Fluxbox, I don't seem to have an image viewer that can play animated GIF files.
I think that Gwenview can and I have it on my KDE system. But on a Fluxbox system I would like to avoid too many KDE dependencies.

flag, and only depends on imlib2.
Gwenview, as I said, but that's not what I wanted.
gThumb can do it. It comes with few dependencies but looks alien in Fluxbox.
A less desktop-dependent solution is #2 under here:
Install gifsicle.
Create a desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=GIFview
Exec=gifview -a %f
Icon=gif
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
NoDisplay=true
MimeType=image/gif
and put it into ~/.local/share/applications.
