2) When GNOME takes a screenshot, it does not add any EXIF data at all. If you then rotate this screenshot in Shotwell and save, it contains only the Exif.Image.Orientation tag and no others:
adam@adam-desktop:~/shotwell-0.7$ exiv2 -pa '/home/adam/Desktop/Screenshot.png'
Exif.Image.Orientation Short 1 bottom, right
Xmp.tiff.ImageWidth XmpText 1 3
adam@adam-desktop:~/shotwell-0.7$
Then, other photo applications including Eye of GNOME and GIMP will not notice the EXIF orientation in this case.
I am not sure what is the best way to solve this. Should I fill a bug for gnome-screenshot ?
According to http:// trac.yorba. org/ticket/ 2581 , this looks to be 2 separate problems:
1) Some apps don't respect the EXIF orientation flag. I opened upstream bugs for this : /bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 630307 /bugs.launchpad .net/shutter/ +bug/644847 /bugs.launchpad .net/pinta/ +bug/644846 /bugs.kde. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=252003

There are maybe more apps with this problem...
