Picasa on Linux and proxy setting

Its been quite a while Google Released Versions for Linux, and few months back, they released 2.7 version beta for people to test on.
Im so impressed, now that Picasa on Linux finally supports web albums, easy one click upload. (Not really one click but still).

2.7 is fairly stable with minor issues but unnoticable.

Its been quite a while i've tried searching for a proxy setting in picas. Reading through the manual, found out Picasa uses the default Proxy setting in the Internet Explorer.

Since there isn't a easier way to setup proxy server through wine, google had a tutorial btw.

http://picasa.google.com/linux/faq.html#31 << FAQ for Picasa Linux
/opt/picasa/bin/wrapper regedit << picasa wine executable to open up register

The proxy settings are as in this page http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/292/

Cheers All
