I cast my vote for a default of not showing unused tags. But that's
because I see albums as something used *after* importing and tagging.

The way I see it, you import pictures then tag them and finally put them
into albums. The default view in f-spot would show all your pictures and
you could ask it to show only the pictures from one album. Of course
your pictures are still in the list of all your pictures so that adding
them to an album does not mean you can't change their tags. It only
means you can do it only in the default view (or optionnally in the
album view after enabling the "show all tags" option).

How does it sound?
