Bit of an add-on. Out of curiosity I removed the linux (Wine) version of
Picasa (it seemed slow, a bit klunky etc) and downloaded the Windows
version and then installed via Wine. Not only does it run about 10 times
faster, but the GUI is better *and* has all the added bells & whistles
of the original windows version. For anyone wanting to try Picasa, I'd
recommend installing the windows version & run via Wine instead.
