It definitely needs to be saved in gconf so people can change the 
behaviour once and get their preferred behaviour afterwards.

I'm a big fan of making the default value the thing most likely to be 
right for the users who are too naive to know to look for the option and 
change it.

In this case, I don't think we can assume that people will put things in 
Albums *after* importing.   My guess is that we'll provide a mechanism 
to let people put an entire import into an Album when they import it. 
Then if they want to tag only their most recent photos they just need to 
look at that Album.

Assuming we do something like that, I think that the default should be 
to show all tags.

Incidentally - this might remove the need for the 'last imported' 
concept --- if we by default create a new album for every import, it 
lets you easily find all of the photos from a given import.    We'd 
probably want to put these 'import' albums in a separate folder so they 
don't clutter the album view...
