Bug description:
Binary package hint: f-spot

When exporting some images to CD, f-spot started to complain about unreadable files (which is wrong, all files are clearly readable by f-spot). Hitting "Abort" on one of the many dialogs complaining about this spurious error and selecting "export to CD" again, F-spot says that there are already images to export. If I then just click "export", F-Spot crashes, and the next time I start it and select "export to CD", the list of images to export contains another copy of every file to export, with the usual duplicate names (see Bug #250899), up to four or five copies of every file, depending on how often you try to get the program to do what it is told. You can not emty this list of files to export, no matter what you do.
If you select "export only these images", F-Spot writes only the copies named dsc<nnnn>.jpg and dsc<nnnn>-1.jpg to the CD, and the resulting ISO image has the same size F-Spot reported as the resulting size on the very first try to export, i.E. it indended to export every picture twice from the very beginning.
This is on a pristine installation of intrepid, x86. 

Apart from that, F-Spott litters .xsession-errors with
(f-spot:5713): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple: assertion `dest_height > 0' failed

Another error I got:
=================================================================
Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 
used by your application.
=================================================================

I think ubuntu should get rid of F-Spot (and maybe the whole of mono, as F-Spot is a "best of breed" mono application, according to Miguel) until it reaches at least beta quality.

I attach the whole .xsession-errors
