This is still a problem with fully updated Hardy LTS (8.04.2). Every time I plug a digital camera into my laptop (PPC) the first thing it does is crash F-Spot. I close the unhandled exception window and open gThumb manually which works great. I wish either:
1. Hardy LTS F-Spot were updated with this fix (I filed 582113 on Gnome bugzilla against v0.4.3.1 and was notified it had been resolved long ago, but in Intrepid), or
2. I could choose gThumb as the default handler when a digital camera is detected (it works great!).

Kind of embarrassing to have the main application crash every time I plug in a digital camera. With gThumb the digital camera support is simple and "Just Works." The Long-Term Support edition of Ubuntu (Hardy 8.04) is scheduled for support on the desktop till April 2011--two years from now.
