Im using Ubuntu Edgy on i386 and this is what I did to get it working:

1. I installed Picasa as usual (v2.2 for linux)
2. I started it up and scanned some folder containing photos
3. Shut down picasa AND the media detector
4. Instlled wine (apt-get install wine)
5. Downloaded picasa 2.5 for windows (wget
http://dl.google.com/picasa/picasaweb-current-setup.exe)
6. Installed it using wine (wine picasaweb-current-setup.exe)
7. When asked if I want to run Picasa, I did so, then I shut down
picasa AND the media detector (if running)
7. Moved the old picasa installation (as root):
    cd /opt/picasa/wine/drive_c/Program Files
    mv Picasa2 Picasa22
8. While in the same dir i copied the new installed Picasa 2.5:
    cp -R home/USERNAME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Picasa2/ .
8. Then it just worked... Good luck!

I had big troubles getting the start up logo disappearing, this is why
some steps are kind of awkward.
