I've stopped using f-spot for time adjustments. I find it easier to use 
exiv2. This is usually because I'm adjusting a load of images to 
correlate with their 'real time' as photographed on my GPS, and often 
I'll be typing, (as I was an hour ago), something like:

   exiv2 -a -00:00:03 *

on a folder of jpegs to align them to the correct time.

I use f-spot almost entirely for the tagging and basic cropping and not 
much else.

At the moment my digital toolkit is outlined at:

except I've stopped using anki and gone back to mnemosyne.

Note that you can run exiv2 against images that are within the f-spot 
database and it doesn't seem to matter. I also do this with exifer (MS 
Windows program) against images in my f-spot collection without any 
problems.
