Does anyone know of an application for Linux
that will allow me to group photos by keyword tags,
but LEAVE the photos where they already exist on my drive;

If you like, a "passive" indexer, (like the old Aldus fetch)
as opposed to a picture database.

Take a look at Kphotoalbum http://www.kphotoalbum.org/
I've been using it about a year and am pleased with it. I have 35000
cataloged and it is still fast. I do wish it were available on Windows

Take a look a F-Spot (http://f-spot.org/Main_Page). It's a fairly full-
featured photo manager for the GNOME desktop, but you can use it with any
desktop environment or window manager, if the appropriate libraries are
installed. It has the option to leave photos where they are on the hard
drive instead of moving or copying them to the ~/Photos folder which is
what you wanted.

Where are the tags stored? If it were me, I'd write something like that
for myself, but I keep my photos on my 'doze box, not on one of my Linux
boxes.
