Interesting.

Shameless plug. Did you know about Solang:
http://projects.gnome.org/solang It is not as mature as F-Spot, yet,
and its UI needs to be tweaked a bit to make it work nicely with
smaller screens, but it uses Tracker for all sorts of things: tags,
exif, searching. However it does not do imports from cameras.

Sometime ago, on the Fedora lists there was a talk of a small
dedicated photo importer application:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-November/msg00735.html

Earlier, it was unclear to me as to what is missing in F-Spot or
GThumb. But it looks like you have some ideas. Also, I think things
can be improved to fit into the Tracker way of doing things so that
the workflow fits in nicely with applications like Solang.
