What works
Gameplay: There are some hiccups when changing areas and music but overall the game is very playable. Options Credits
What does not
As far as I can tell everything works but the water does look strange like http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23258 describes. Also had an issue where my character's picture in the inventory window became corrupted with what looked like a stretched screenshot of my browser.

Additional Comments
At first I installed this to my regular WINEPREFIX that has all my other windows stuff. It didn't work from there at all. I would get some error message like "Can't find music" and then it would crash with the console complaining about some CLSIDs not being found (even though they did exist when I checked in regedit). I don't know what the problem was, maybe ffdshow and morrowind can't coexist in one WINEPREFIX? I had to install to a clean WINEPREFIX and it worked flawlessly from there (aside from the odd looking water).

About windows getting minimized, the workaround is pretty simple : the MenuStates of the .ini file is reset everytime you launch the game, which causes it to define minimized windows. What you need to do is chmod it to read-only (chmod 444 does the trick) after having changed the MenuStates parameters to suitable window sizes.
I got it to work with around 50 mods, the thing is the .ini file needs to update the modlist, so you first need to run Morrowind with a writable .ini file (chmod 644 works like a charm), then you can kill the process immediately afterwards (wineserver -k after Ctrl+Alt+F1 for instance), chmod the .ini to 444 after checking the MenuStates section is still well and about, and launch the game !
