I would add that any such interface should be started as a fork of Nautilus.
Otherwise you always start with a poorer file management set of features, and
the developers basically reinventing the wheel in that regard. There aren't
many Nautilus features that I wouldn't want to see in a photo manager. A photo
is still a file and whatever you can do to a file you should be able to do to a
photo. Another thing to appreciate is the particular strenghts of Linux. This
is the one platform where the command line interface is put to a lot of use,
which ultimately translates into bash scripts. Launching them on photos with
Nautilus Actions is now a feature I couldn't do without. So a dedicated
interface needs to take this into account, instead of merely following the
paradigm set by other platforms.
This is a bit off topic, but since you're involved in user interfaces for photo
tools, I thought it was worth stating. :-)
