[Shotwell] Importing two pics (Raw+Jpeg) creates a third one (_shotwell.jpg)

[Eric Gregory]

Actually this is a different issue. The _shotwell.jpg files correspond with
the version of the RAW photo as developed by Shotwell.

In the prefs if you set the default RAW developer to "Camera" it won't
create these files in the future and will simply display the JPEG from the
RAW+JPEG pair.

For some reason we didn't make this the default, but we plan to change
that: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4702
