Gah! Turns out (predictably enough) to be nothing to do with picasa - I'd just cream-crackered the permissions in my home directory in the process of trying to rearrange the folder structure so openssh couldn't use its key files properly. All sorted now. Sorry to have bothered you and thank you for not replying - it's so much less embarrassing that way than having to admit to lots of helpful people that I've wasted their valuable time!
