I can confirm this. I see the same after executing the command you sent me.
The orientation seems to be stored correctly in the file, but konqueror fails 
to heed it. kuickshow does fine.

Ah, that's it. Re-Installed it and everything is just as it used to be. I 
vaguely remember that this package was deselected when the first chunk of the 
KDE 3.3 upgrade came it. I concluded it was absorbed into some other package 
back then.

So maybe kuickshow should Suggests: kdegraphics-kfile-plugins.
But that's a minor issue. The konqueror issue seems more important and 
strange. Maybe it's the order of the EXIF tags that varies between files 
created by the digicam and imagemagick that confuses konqueror but not 
kuickshow...
