I always compile gimp myself to be sure I get everything I want in it.
It's almost the only opensuse program I do that with.  And yes, I did
find that the exif data were there after saving to jpg; the problem must
be with the pbase site.  What confused me and made me think it was gimp
was that it started immediately after compiling/installing gimp 2.4.7.
Just an unlucky coincidence I suppose.
