I had a similar issue with Picasa on my Fedora 14 laptop. The solution was to download the latest Picasa version for Windows and run it under Wine.
Dejan: Thank you. That's the easiest way! I uninstalled the version of Picasa for Linux I'd gotten from the google yum repository, installed wine and then I downloaded the M$ Windows version (3.8) of Google's Picasa and installed that with Wine.
Working! :-) Strangely, in the Help > About it shows that it is Picasa version 3.8.x for Linux. :-)
Thanks to the 3 of you who replied. Much appreciated! Lanny

I'm just running Piscasa as an app under the Chromium Web Broser. Also running Picnik the same way. They work well together.
