[Shotwell] Problem with CR2 files from a Canon EOS 550D

[Bruce Smith]

Thanks Jim. The version of libraw that is in my Maverick installation is 
0.9.1-1, quite old compared to 0.12.2. I´m not in a position to 
recompile / rebuild Shotwell right now to test if libraw 0.12.2 will fix 
my magenta stripe symptoms. However, I may be able to do that in a few 
weeks.
