Nah. Consider another tool
imagemagick (or graphicsmagick)
(never can remember the cmdline format)
but the online UI control via display works ok
click on image to get control, choose transform
xv used to be ok -- still is
digikam or f-spot
(I know nothing about these, but think they have tools)
ahh, the showfoto [digikam] tool works nicely, I think
gthumb -- image menu allows editing
(but it doesn't work for me! -- maybe for you?
hmmm, I think it's a known bug)
oodraw has a crop tool on the picture toolbar
(it's hard to find and not too friendly, sigh)
kolorpaint has a crop via selection, "set-as-image(crop)"
krita is a full photo editor alternative
but that probably is also more than wanted
Looks like best choices might be:
xv, display (for simplicity) -- & gthumb when it gets un-broke
showfoto (for user-friendly [I think]
