Well, you were partly right... I was using the latest stable release of Wine, which I assumed would be good enough since I know people had Picasa running on Wine versions prior to v1.0. I searched and found a version 1.1.7 version of Wine (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpkgopensolaris/files/), which (mostly) runs Picasa 3, so my assumption was obviously wrong.
What I would like to do is create a package for Picasa on Opensolaris that is equivalent to the one available for Ubuntu, for example. But to do that I need to know what version of wine Google used, what "tweaks" they applied, and how they bundle it all up together. I'm guessing that that information is not in the public domain though?
