I don't know shotwell :^(
but let's fix it.
1. remove the picasa for linux beta 3 or whatever
2. download the windows binary picasa38-setup.exe
3. install/update to current wine for your distro
4. from cl in directory where picasa38-setup.exe exists:
wine ./picasa38-setup.exe
this will install picasa:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe
5. to run from cl:
wine "~/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe"
NOTE: the "for linux" versions are merely a package containing an old
version of picasa and a *tweaked* wine which are installed in a different
location in addition to your distro's wine. The version of picasa is
lacking many features and much less functional than the 38 version. The
38 version runs very well for me as described above on 11.2 openSUSE
x86_64.
I added a Picasa3.desktop to provide kde menu which you are free to use
but must be edited to fit your <user-name>.

You should also read the file to make sure there are not other lines that
need to be changed. It is 19 lines, 25 words, 485 bytes.
