In addition to what has already been suggested you might want to try 
gqview. It is a bit like Window's ACDSee - it's a general purpose image 
viewer and slideshow. It can do rotation itself, and it has a 
configurable context menu which can pass an image on to an external 
editor when you need something more complex. It has predefined entries 
for gimp, electric eyes, XV, and XPaint.
