Here's one solution. Grab this script found in my Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AQeX0wMYGYU6ZGNucmprbjlfMGRjZjg4M2d6&hl=en (I'm using Google Docs, because the longer lines in the script might get chopped by this Google Groups editor). 1. Open a text editor (such as KWrite if using KDE) and then copy the contents from Google Docs to your running editor and save this file in your home dir as "picasa-photoviewer". Optionally, you could select, "File" (menu option) -> "Download as" and save the file to your home directory. 2. Open a command line and execute: cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin su (provide password) cp /home/<your home directory name>/picasa-photoviewer . (yes, there is a space and period at the end of the previous command) chmod +x picasa-photoviewer exit exit 3. I run KDE (openSUSE 11.2 64 bit), so I right-clicked on the "Start" button and selected "Menu Editor" and navigated the left tree to "Graphics -> Picasa" (click on "Picasa"). 3a. Next, select "New Item" on the command bar (next to "Save"). 3b. For the "Name" field, type, "Picasa Photo Viewer". 3c. In the "Command" Field, type, (without quotes) "/opt/google/picasa/ 3.0/bin/picasa-photoviewer". 3d. Choose whatever icon you want (to the right of the Name and Description fields). 3e. When all is complete for the entry, click "Save" on the command bar. Here's a Google document which shows a screenshot of the Menu Editor: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AQeX0wMYGYU6ZGNucmprbjlfMWZxczk4d2R4&hl=en Please note that there are some checks in the "picasa-photoviewer" script file that might not be required, such as a check for SSL and Mozilla integration ... I don't know enough about Picasa Photo Viewer (never knew it existed till I saw the reply :) so I just left those checks in there.
