Yes, that's what I wanted to show you with the screenshots.

I don't use konqueror to preview or view the pictures, so I don't think this 
is the problem. Nevertheless, I cleared the .thumbnails directory and 
restarted digikam. It regenerated the thumbs again with the wrong 
orientation.

sure;

* Vertical orientation:

* Horizontal orientation:

[pictures were scaled in resolution to save bandwidth, but I can supply the 
originals if relevant]
