I've admittedly never used Picasa.  (It actually runs on Linux via Wine,
which I guess means it's x86-only, right?)

However, another KDE app I can recommend is KPhotoAlbum.
(It used to be called "KimDaBa" (KDE Image DataBase).)

It's also a bit daunting, but if we're suggesting Picasa (which I think
is a similar concept), I figured I should mention this one, too.

It lets you organize, search, and tag your photos.  So you can go back and
say: "show me all pictures that include my wife, that are in San Francisco,
from 2005 and 2006."

The site even includes some demonstration videos (screencasts) that explain
what it does and how it works.
