Ideas and possibilities for photo gallery software

I need a new photo gallery setup. What I have now works, but isn't flexible for my workflow.

What I need

Light-weight clicking/keyscrolling? through pictures.

Really simple user input, as simple as Tristan Campbell's.

At least separate galleries, but it may as well be generic tagging.

Hidable EXIF/Bibble/Tag info.

Multiple versions of each picture? Each with Bibble info and comments, and comparable by mouse-over.

Customizable.

Polling?

What I have found out there

JAlbum Java-based album, not entirely LGPL, but still heavily modifiable. Many different and beautiful skins. Some have shopping, some have tagging, some (seem to) have user comments. Not examples of multi-version images.

Gallery Smaller, but more Linuxoid. Has user commeting, polling and galleries, no tagging. Fully open source and modular. I will now be TestingGallerySoftware.

TriVista For money, and primitive.

Lightbox Photo Commercial. Tagging, no comments.

Absolute Image Gallery Windows only.
