It's not problematic, it just spawns a wrong url; the webbrowser.open
(in Utils) call does not do what ist's supposed to do :-(
When I execute
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('http://www.google.com')
it basically opens
file://~/where/I/am/at
http://www.google.com in a firefox window
I definitely do not see this behavior. This might be a new bug, or it might be something else.
In any case, the login failing I described occurs whether I use
gnome.url_show() or webbrowser. I was just using webbrowser so we didn't have to import gnome, as importing gnome seems to make a noticeable difference to memory usage.
Thanks for fixing the Picasa upload bug!
