The beauty of RAW files (as I'm sure you know, since you're using UFRAW) is the ability to adjust things - like the white balance.

I did a quick search on the internet, though, and you don't seem to be the only person with this complaint. The only other thing I can think of is that you might have the White Balance dropdown in UFRAW set to something other than Camera WB. For instance, if you have it set to Auto WB - I've often thought that UFRAW's Auto WB is a bit too blue. Well, part of the problem is that Picasa is more of a RAW file viewer as opposed to an editor.
