On KDE4, you can add a protocol handler under $HOME/.kde4/share/kde4/services/. On Earlier versions I believe this directory is $KDEDIR/share/services/. Create a file called picasa.protocol and place this in it:

[Protocol]
exec=/usr/bin/picasa "%u"
protocol=picasa
input=none
output=none
helper=true
listing=false
reading=false
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false

You may need to tweak the options a bit, but I think that should work. This is the same method for setting up the spotify handler in chrome, as well as a handler for last.fm.

I had this problem in Chromium and Chrome when running in VirtualBox. Disabling mouse integration got it working for me.

There appear to be several related bugs https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=465660
