Exactly. You would be surprised how many people (including myself) do say this 
indeed and then re-boot in Windows.  Typical situation is e.g. when you have 
big set of fresh digital pictures at the end of busy travelling day, and need 
to prepare something show-able during some 20 minutes or so. It simply 
doesn't cut to rotate again each vertical format picture in front of public, 
and it is simply impossible time-wise to call monstrous Gimp for each picture 
just to rotate it.  

ACDSee can easily rotate pictures and save them in _another_ file.  I am sure 
that in Linux this could be even easier.  Some identification of rotated 
image could be added to the end of file name, just to keep file sequence the 
same.

All other image editing functions do not need to be included in GQview because 
they can be performed later when time permits. Rotation is totally another 
thing because it is simply inevitable and necessary to show image at all.
