I'm very interested in getting geotagging to work under Ubuntu as well. I experienced the same problem as you describe when I activated the 'places' side panel. Actually Picasa ended up freezing and I had to delete the line "active_metadata_tab"="thumbui/places_toggle" in / home/USERNAME/.google/picasa/3.0/user.reg to get Picasa working again.
