   Maybe it was rev 650383?

   Though I tested that change and it worked fine with all the test raw 
   files I have.

   Here's the commit message:

   SVN commit 650383 by suutari:

   Apply Michael J Gruber's patch to fix rotating raw files (or their
   thumbnails) twice.

   See
   http://mail.kdab.net/mailman/pipermail/kphotoalbum/2007-February/002776.html
   for more details.

That did it.  I had never had problems with rotating RAW files
correctly in the first place; that fix is what broke it for me.
Undoing that fix solved this.

BTW, I notice that with only a small number of images in the thumbnail
viewer, it still took a very long time on a cold system to show an
image if I double click on it.  I suggest that KPA never blindly
attempt to access a potentially large collection of files unless it's
going to immediately read from them.

This is what I suspect the problem is.  Personally, I'd much rather
have it skip an image when it tries to load it, and if it really does
find no images, emit an error then.

void MainWindow::Window::slotView( bool reuse, bool slideShow, bool random )
{
    launchViewer( selectedOnDisk(), reuse, slideShow, random );
}
