Picasa for Linux was just a Windows version bundled with a custom
version of Wine, which outdated very soon, obviously.
Back when I was using Picasa on Slackware I used to install the
Slackware version of Wine and then install a regular Windows version of
Picasa on that.
That worked much better, wine was updated when necessary and Picasa
integrated much better into Wine.
So, long story short, install Wine and get the last version of Picasa
for Windows.
