Picasa has had a native GNU/Linux version for a while now.

Hi Jeff,

According to Google's "About Picasa for Linux" it does appear that Picasa still uses WINE (which, it is true, as was mentioned above, is technically *not* an emulator). I think, though, that because of the use of WINE most people would find it a bit of a stretch to say it was truly native...

Having installed Picasa on a Linux box or two, I have to say it does *hide* WINE really well and you don't really notice it as you would some other WINE apps... but it can't, as yet, run without it.

Thanks!
