I did compile gthumb 3.1.3 on my desktop pc but now I get the following
error when I try to resize the file :

Could not save the file. Could not find a suitable module to save the
image as "image/jpeg"

Not sure how to fix this. I'll try to launch a Ubuntu 13.04 live cd
later and check if the exif bug is still there

Sorry again but I don't understand this logic. I don't see how resetting
the orientation after a resize operation is useful to anyone. These are
two different things. My understanding is that gthumb should keep this
orientation when user ask for a resize.

Am I correct ?
