2 useful pointers about stacking picture together:
http://www.mail-archive.com/f-spot-list gnome org/msg00749.html

A third pointer:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342482 and it could be great
to have a thing like this in f-spot. Or added in the metadata, or ...

But again, my main opinion is that there's no strong relation between
the roll and the content of the roll, although you're free to add that
relation by :
- never shoot anything that won't fit in a roll
- import whenever your event is done

Let the discussion continue...
