What works
Pretty much everything. Walking, downloading, uploading, all the tools work flawlessly (or, at least as well as in Windows), and Pounce works well in nearly all respects.
What does not
Log button does not work and may crash the client (though logs themselves are saved). Pounce and Dreamweaver are difficult to read or slow without winetricks corefonts installed. Images in Whisper Windows make the client crash, it is STRONGLY recommended you turn off images in Whisper Windows via the Whispers Windows > General settings dialog. There are some other minor annoyances in whisper windows, like pasted text overriding all text in the input box, issues with taking focus, etc. Recently, opening application-specific files has resulted in a "file not found" error, and clicking links has not worked. This worked with an older version of wine, and may work with the newest.

Additional Comments
Using winetricks corefonts is a lot easier than msttcorefonts and accomplishes essentially the same thing. Fedora 64-bit users, make sure to install wine.i686 and not the 64 bit version.

| Bug # | Description | Status | Resolution | Other apps affected |
Dreamweaver lags because it cannot find the fonts it is looking for, and the font used by default is nearly unreadable. This is resolved by installing winetricks and the corefonts package. Alternatively, you can install msttcorefonts. Depending on your distribution, this package may be included in the default repositories or you may need to wget it from another source.
Ubuntu users, who have the package in default repositories, may use apt-get to install it:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
RPM compatible distributions may use the following commands to retrieve and install msttcorefonts:
su
cd /tmp/
wget http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
yum -y install rpm-build cabextract ttmkfdir
rpmbuild -bb msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
rpm -ivh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm --nodeps
