[Bug 1077186] [NEW] ignores EXIF rotation data from Nikon cameras

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

On upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, I find that glslideshow is ignoring
rotation data in pictures taken by my Nikon D7000 camera, and so
portrait pictures are shown rotated by 90 degrees. An example of such an
image is:

Portrait pictures taken by an older camera are displayed correctly. An
example if such an image is:

This is a regression; it used to work correctly on Ubuntu 11.10.

EDIT: It also works in Ubuntu 12.04. In Quantal it worked with gdk-
pixbuf 2.26.3-0ubuntu1 and broke with 2.26.4-0ubuntu1.
