What works
Installing, running on both primary and secondary connections - the main functionality is there.
What does not
Bringing extra windows like Settings, Whois, Browse or Personal Messages back to front with the buttons on top.
The main window needs to be moved aside to access them again once they're hidden.
There have always been a few graphical glitches like tabs not showing correctly but since this version there is an additional issue:
In the library and search windows lines are missing.i.e. not being displayed, making it hard to use these functions.
Workarounds
What was not tested
nothing :)
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
Upon first running WinMX with Wine it will prompt to install the Wine Gecko engine from Sourceforge so the status bar can be displayed properly. There are no additional overrides necessary except for the connection patch (oledlg.dll). WinMX is complaining about not being able to find winmx.com, this is not a wine issue but is due to the fact that that domain is no longer being valid. This has no influence on the functionality however and a simple entry in the hosts file takes care of that if it bothers anyone.

For Wine 0.9.60 and up
The only dll override needed now is for the connection patch, i.e.
oledlg.dll.
