Needing approval from everyone before the picture can be posted at all
is too much, but allowing the picture to be posted and then optionally
allowing each person involved to approve their individual tag on the
picture before their individual tag is public seems a lot more sane.

Usually when I see someone upset or annoyed with a picture that was
uploaded by someone else on Facebook, they don't seem to be upset that
the picture was uploaded, just that they were tagged in it. So they
untag themselves.

This would seem like a decent compromise anyway. You still won't be
able to stop pictures of yourself from cropping up around you, but
it's not like you can do that off the internet either. At least this
will allow you to control what others see when they specifically
search for photos of you.
