Output from running Picasa 3.9 in a terminal.

Picasa 3.9 fails to authenticate with Google. Picasa 3.8 works with the same setup (Ubuntu 11.10).

The problem is known to Google:

"[...] we've switched to using OAuth in Picasa 3.9 and our implementation isn't supported on WINE."

I'm attaching the output I get when running in a terminal (wine Picasa3.exe). When I try to connect to Google, the following line is output:

"err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0xe10440 "?" wait timed out in thread 0033, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)"
