Picasa rocks, but not enough

Picasa ran with no trouble at all under WINE. I was very surprised. Its a bit klunky to add photos though. WINE mounts / as the Z: drive, and Picasa doesn't recursively search the directories you add. So I had to add a whole bunch of directories I have. That was rather annoying, so I think I'll stick with Gthumb. Hello wouldn't run at all. It said my operating system was too old. I tried setting my OS version to winxp in ~/.wine/config, but that didn't work. I'm open to ideas. Ubuntu is still installing. My laptop's really slow. Oh yes, and I installed this other neat program in WINE, and it worked great too. I can't remember the name of it now though. And now, I'm off to work.
