I am also having this problem with Feisty 7.04. My system totally locks up the mouse and keyboard when importing to or closing F-Spot. I think it may be hardware related because I have the issue even when running the live CD on one of my computers but a second computer runs the same live CD just fine. Here are the specs of the motherboard from the affected computer. My guess is the UniChrome graphics. Previous versions of Ubuntu and F-Spot were fine. Other applications in 7.04 work fine.
