This would work. But as I said, I would not want to explain her that she
needs to manually merge the phone's pictures with her photo collection,
some way of automatic import would be required IMO.

Hmm... ok. That sounds better. In our case, Shotwell just hangs and does
nothing... But if you say it's working for you, we're probably hitting
some bug, which is better than not having support at all I guess. Anyone
ran into this and has hints how to get around it?
