For me it's 100% reproducible: thumbnails of jpg's are rotated
correctly, thumbnails of cr2's are not rotated at all. I'm wondering:
Does KPA use some KDE or QT stuff for the thumbnails? Then the
functionality would depend on that, of course. But me thinks KPA uses
that parse.c copy from DC. Let's see what THE MAN says, he's got a 350D,
too, I think.
