There is an F-Spot extension called "DevelopInUFraw", which adds a
context menu to RAW-Pictures to do Right-click -> Develop in UFRaw. You
can also do Batch-Processing when you select multiple pictures (images
are processed with the same settings as the last one developed).

Try the curves from
http://fotogenetic.dearingfilm.com/fotogenetic_correction_curves_v4.zip
as "Base curve". And in "Corrections", up the contrast and saturation a
bit. This should give better results.
Also you can try to play with these two curves. I usually use one of the
two base curves and then play around with the "Correction" curve.

The image displayed in F-Spot is the one that is stored inside the
raw-File (see exiftool manual for how to extract them: "-JpgFromRaw")
and this is the camera-processed image.

Hope this helps,
