I had to click on the image in the icon bar, then click the rotate button, then do the next one, I could only do one at a time. Is there a better way to do this? I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to select multiple images in the icon bar and rotate them at the same time. Also, it would be convenient if there was a keyboard shortcut for the rotation.

Well, we haven't been thinking a lot about this, as most newer cameras 
has a orientation sensor build-in. It leaves a mark in the metadata 
which we read and rotate the photo (and thumbnail) according to. Which 
camera do you have?

> 2 - I noticed on the website that the screenshots show the thumbnails that have been rotated, but when I rotate an image, the thumbnail doesn't rotate with it. Anyone else see this problem?

We don't update the thumbnails after they have been generated. But 
rotation of the thumbnail along with the photo might be usable.

> 3 - Are there keyboard shortcuts for the common processing tasks? I tend to not use the mouse when I don't need to and would find this useful. For example, one could use 'CTRL-R' or 'CTRL-SHIFT-R' for clockwise/counterclockwise rotation, Press 'C' to select Contrast and use the arrow keys to modify, or press 'S' for saturation and the arrow keys to modify, etc.

Well, I have never heard of people doing photowork without a mouse... 
yet :) We haven't got any shortcuts like the ones you describe. I don't 
even know if GTK can use shortcuts to place focus on a slider...
