Would agree with the comments for digikam - particularly for KDE users. If 
using GNOME I guess f-spot might also fit the bill. And as the OP mentioned 
that his wife is using Windows, he might want to consider Picasa from Google. 
With the very obvious caveat that Picasa on Linux is a wine app and looks and 
feels a bit alien... but if it's what you're used to on Windows it's 
definitely an option for Linux.

PS Hope you're well Pete - you should invest in a card reader... they're very 
cheap and incredibly useful.
