The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178897

"...
1) Install eye of gnome.
2) Open a JPEG
3) Click on View->Side Pane or hit Ctrl+F9 (go ahead I dare ya)
4) No worky

Very irritating as this was about the best way to view image exif info on Linux.

I'm running gutsy on x86. This is upgraded from Feisty. I'll attach an image from my Nikon that should have EXIF info but there is no option to show the side pane for me.

This is not a bug. The EXIF sidepane has been replaced by the metadata dialog, that you can open with Alt+Enter, or through File->Properties->Metadata. 

The sidepane option that you see grayed out is intended to activate a sidepane that can be used by plugins. If there is no plugin activated using the sidepane, this will be grayed out.
