Thanks for the replies. I've removed Picasa, re-copied my photos over from XP to Ubuntu, and used "import" on F-spot. Most of them are fine.
But I have one batch that's giving me problems. File manager shows these in Photos, then in folders by year, month, date. File names are fxcd0001.jpg, and so on. Date modified for this batch is 17 July 2004 - that's the original photo date, I've never edited them. In F-spot, Version shows as Original, but date shows as 17/12/2004, file name is the descriptive file name I gave when I originally downloaded from my camera (in Windows, in 2004). Properties > location shows (for example) "/Photos/2004/12/17/Glass Church.jpg" - but /Photos doesn't have a folder structure 12/17. There is a folder 12, but it doesn't contain subfolder 17. I'm obviously missing something really basic about file handling here!

I can copy them again from XP, but I've obviously done something to loose the originals (I haven't deleted them with Nautilus) and I'd like to work out what I've done. > > Doesn't Picassa move your pictures from the "import" folder to his > own > one by default?
