I believe imagemagick can as well.  I've been using exiftran which
also uses jpegtran.  It's fairly simple for cli.  I usually run this:

exiftran -agip Pictures/Some/Folder/somefile.jpg

It auto-rotates the file according to the exif orientation tag, and
then changes the tag properly all-at-once.  However, I still hope
there's a gui tool, or a way to use gwenview.  The gnome product
gthumb has the same problem as gwenview - it auto-rotates, and there's
no setting to dis-allow it.

This:

 1. Open gui
 2. Find a sideways picture
 3. Open terminal and run commands to fix it
 4. Go back to gui tool and refresh to make sure it rotated right

Has got to be slower than this:

 1. Open gui tool
 2. Find a sideways picture
 3. Click rotate button
 4. Click save

On a side note, it looks like gwenview also uses jpegtran.
