* Can you re-run using: "SHOTWELL_LOG=1 SHOTWELL_LOG_FILE=:console: shotwell | 
tee shotwell_log.txt" and then attach shotwell_log.txt to this bug?
* Can you re-run using: "strace -o strace_log.txt shotwell" and then attach 
"strace_log.txt" to this bug?
* Can you attach the output of the commands "dpkg -l" and "ldd $(which 
shotwell)"?

* The most valuable info would be if you could get a backtrace that
shows where Shotwell crashes/aborts or exits. Do the following steps:

A) enable the ddebs repository, as explained in this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
(just execute the commands in steps 1 to 6 in a terminal, except that step 6 
should "sudo apt-get install shotwell-dbgsym=0.5.0+dfsg-1.1" instead).

B) start "gdb shotwell" and inside the debugger prompt type "break exit"
and also "break abort" (the latter will say the breakpoint is just
pending but that's ok). Now type "run" into the debugger prompt and
shotwell should start.

C) Once shotwell crashes/exits or aborts, then have a look at the
debugger prompt again and type "bt full" there and copy paste the output
onto this bug report.

PS. If you're interested you can read more about backtraces here;
