gthumb has the ability to store image metadata in the image file itself using the libiptcdata library. This feature is very useful, and is automatically enabled if the libiptcdata library is present when gthumb is built. The only bug here is that libiptcdata should be packaged, and made a prerequisite for gthumb. This should be trivial since libiptcdata already comes with a spec file and has few prerequisities.
Created attachment 127690 [details] Patch to gthumb's spec file
Created attachment 127691 [details] spec file for libiptcdata I've attached a patch to gthumb's spec file along with a spec file for libiptcdata to make the suggested changes. I've tested them under FC5 and they work as intended.
Too late for FC6. Putting on FC7Target
Sad, as it is such a simple working fix that has been available for some time. Well, another half a year of building gthumb myself.
libiptcdata is now available in Fedora Extras, so it should be easy to apply this patch to the gthumb spec file now.

Moving off FC7Target
libiptcdata.ppc64 is now available.
