Alas it bombs spectacularly on my Fedora Core 3 box. I have a hunch it is conflicting with my existing wine setup. Also google neglected to take into account the problems wine has with ulimits, but hacking their wrapper script to do "ulimit -v unlimted" was an easy fix. Ever since Corel's ill-fated Wordperfect for Linux venture, I've never had much hope for any wine-wrapped "port." Wine is just way to non- deterministic. Plus I've always had better luck with a system-wide wine install and just install the windows apps into the wine environment. I already had picasa running on my work machine this way many months ago. The laundry list of changes to wine to make Picasa run well (well, better would be a more correct word) can be seen at http://code.google.com/wine.html . Unlike Corel, Google (and Codeweavers) are contributing to the main branch of wine, so google won't have to maintain a fork and cause problems for both wine and the users. Google does know how to get things right I think. Now if they can only make picasa actually run on my machine.
