*SNIPPED*

Seeing  as no-one else has mentioned it, there's also the "NetPBM" suite of 
applications.  Rotate, convert, resize, crop, scale, distort, etc, etc.  I 
use these to drive all scripts behind my gallery and they work extremely well 
(and fast!).  However, if you want support for GIF's you may need to compile 
from source due to some licensing fru-fru or something....shrug.

Whilst NetPBM isn't a "gnome" application, you can use the various programs 
that make NetPBM to write scripts.  If scripting isn't your thing, then 
ImageMagick might be more appropriate.

Have fun!
