default applications for natty

[Phil Whitaker]

Doesn't shotwell only make the changes to its own version of a photo, rather
than the original (like Picasa)?  I'm not sure that shotwell and gimp are
comparable apps - shotwell is a photo organiser, whereas gimp is an image
manipulation tool.  IMO, if we're going to replace gimp, it should be a for
a more like-for-like tool.
