I tried other versions of libexif, but no change. It works with gwenview-1.4.0. Perhaps I forgot to try something - if so, please give me a hint.

If you're still experiencing this problem, please add the output of "emerge gwenview -pv". Furthermore, does it happen with every picture with exif information or just some? Because having tried a random picture of myself with exif info included, gwenview doesn't crash (not that I expected it, good-looking as I am ;-) ).
Uh, half a year ago... don't know what changed since that, but now it seems to work. Didn't even remember I reported this. I used kuickshow in the meantime, but it has one problem which bugs me more and more: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138589 So now I'm switching back to gwenview because it behaves more clever in that aspect ;) Setting this bug report to WORKSFORME now...
