Actually, have a look at the JPG file first.
If the tags are stored in IPTC as well as in XMP format, you should be
able to use the patch I wrote to let F-Spot read XMP data.
IViewMedia Pro, were only supposed to store in IPTC as far as I
understood, but they also stored the tags in XMP format.

Also, I think that F-Spot has prepared to deal with IPTC tags as well.
Have a look and see in IptcFile.cs, and see if you can create a new
patch based on the XMP importer?

Anyway, gthumb stores its tags in an xml file per photo, so you can take
a look at that patch.

Good Luck
