Also, the newest version of the Windows Picasa DOES work with the wine version included in the Linux Picasa (Picasa 3.0.0.57.4402.0_beta, Wine ?). I installed the Linux Picasa version, moved the Picasa files out and moved in the ones from the Windows Picasa.
Their source is here: http://dl.google.com/linux/src/picasa-3.0.5719-02.oss.tar
So it appears that the Picasa wine port has "features" that were not backported?
Quite possibly. I'll get a diff.
