AFAIK, the widget in f-spot is in c# so we cant use it directly (in c code)

It should be pretty simple to adapt the gnumeric chart widget to create 
a similiar c based widget - I am sure it will be very handy to have this 
for other apps too (like GThumb and maybe Nautilus). If I have time over 
XMAS I might look into this.

As for the bookmarks/history, You dont need tracker to get it working 
but it would be a lot less work as tracker is already an extensible 
metadata server and first class object database. If it gets adopted by 
Gnome then it would make sense for Epiphany to use it.
