I have a Picasa menu entry in "Applications:WINE:Programs:Picasa3",
which was automatically created during the Picasa install. Most users
will get that if they install a "Picasa not customized by Google"
version of Picasa (versus: Applications:Graphics:Photography:Picasa3).

What I'm referring to, as far as "desktop integration" is as
I referred to by example. Let's say Picasa is running and you
select a couple of photos and then select "Export" - a dialog box
is displayed offering the chance to alter some settings for the
Export. Click the Export button and the the new image file is written
to the "export directory" [specified] and then a file manager is
launched, with the contents of the "export directory" displayed.

For the "Picasa customized by Google" version of Picasa, a native
file manager is launched, such as Dolphin or Nautilus.

For the "Picasa not customized by Google" version of Picasa, the
"WINE File Manager" is launched.
