Description: ok with the realse of picasa for LINUX http://www.picasa.google.com/linux/ i descided to make a svg version of the icon... i hate fuzzy bitmap icons and there are no svg's anywhere
soone i'll tango-fy it so your tango themes will look good too
Well....
It's not technically a port. What google did was package the windows version with a modified version of wine, put together by crossover office. This was cool, though, because it led to Google engineers doing 100+ revisions to wine, making that piece of software better.
But I tried it out yesterday when it came out, and a) works great although noticably slower than the Win version on my computer , b) comes as a .deb .bin or .rpm, and c) puts itself into the gnome menu very well.
So, basically, if you didn't know what it is that google did, then you couldn't tell. It was very smooth - download deb on my dapper drake machiene, install, and everything worked just like on Windows.
