Wine is *most* definitely installed.  Look under /opt/ or /opt/google/,
cannot remember which it is.  

Picasa *is* a windows app provided in a package containing an adapted wine
and the windows executable.

Since this is so, why run an outdated and feature crippled version when
you can have a nearly identical app with almost all of the intended
features as provided by the windows version in picasa38-setup.exe?

Your choice, isn't linux wonderful?
