I've found the cause of this:
Geeqie looks into desktop files to search for graphics applications, but crashes when it encounters a desktop file for a graphic app without the "Exec=" line. The Photos lens doesn't have this "Exec=" line because it shoudln't appear (for obvious reasons) as an app in the Applications lens.

Would anyone affected by this bug would be willing to test a fix before I make the change in the Photos lens?

1. Ensure you have the Photos lens (unity-lens-photos) installed
2. Ensure that Geeqie crashes when starting.
2. Open the photos lens desktop file for edition:

$ gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/unity-lens-photos.desktop

3. Remove "Graphics;" from the "Categories" line

Categories=Photography;

4. Save the file and open Geeqie.
