We have been discussing this on the desktop team as well. I would love
to see eog support cropping and red-eye removal (it already rotates). I
think that this, along with f-spot, would cover the key user scenarios.

I think that f-spot is a good program, and a lot of users do manage
large photo libraries, and it is appropriately tuned for those users in
those scenarios.
