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 :
Evince : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630307
Shutter : https://bugs.launchpad.net/shutter/+bug/644847
Pinta : https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/644846
KolourPaint : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252003
There are maybe more apps with this problem...


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  ?
