This functionality was removed as it turned out to be a nightmare once
we supported plotting on top of images. So, if you really want to use
another image viewer (have you tried the FLTK backend?), I guess you
have to write your own function for doing that. Something like the
following might work:

function my_imshow (im)
  imwrite (im, "myfile.png");
  system ("eog myfile.png &");
endfunction

(untested code, so don't expect it to work out of the box)
