Michael,

your understanding of what's going on inside the black box is basically
correct.  When you import a RAW photo into Shotwell, Shotwell renders
the image into a JPEG.  If you then open it in GIMP from within
Shotwell, Shotwell passes the JPEG to GIMP.  If you open it in UFRaw
from within Shotwell, then Shotwell hands the RAW image to UFRaw, which
renders it itself.  If you open it in GIMP from the file manager, GIMP
uses UFRaw to render the image.

At the moment, Shotwell and UFRaw's renderings of the RAW image may look
quite different.  Of course, you're right that ideally all GNOME photo
programs should develop RAW images in the same way.  We'd like to
improve the situation, and we have a Trac ticket about this at
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2246 .  This won't happen for 0.8, but I
hope we can look at this for 0.9.
