What desktop environment are you running?

This happens to me too. Running Gnome 2.22.3 on Ubuntu 8.04.2 (Hardy).

I'm sure there's a simple fix, but don't know where to start
looking... How does the USB plug-in event trigger Picasa?

TIA.

What's the output of:

gconftool-2 /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autophoto_command

If it says picasa, you can disable it with gconf-editor.

Thanks for the tip, that did it!

Actually the command should be:

gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/volume_manager/autophoto_command

in order to get the key value. Then use gconf-editor's Edit/Find option to locate the setting containing the word "picasa", followed by right-click + Unset Key.

We'll leave the question of how the key got set in the first place for another day. ;-)

oh, I forgot --get, copy and paste error.

It's set by /opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin/gnomehalintegration.sh

The first time you ran Picasa, it's what prompts you about gnome
desktop integration.
