The game runs after you set "Emulate Virtual Desktop" in winecfg, although the keyboard issue prevents further testing. See also: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=15443

You can fix the keyboard input using a lib/wine/dinput.dll.so file from wine version 0.9.16 or using a hack mentioned in the comments to bug #8854

But finally OpenXCom is released.
OpenXCom is an open-source clone of the original UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com: UFO Defense in USA), licensed under the GPL and written in C++ / SDL. It was originally founded by SupSuper in February 2009, and has since grown into a small development team surrounded by a very supporting community.
But they didn't limit themselves to clone the original game; they also included a THRONG of improvements (including modding capabilities).
OpenXCom is absolutely free, though possession of an original copy of XCOM: UFO Defense Collector's Edition is required. OpenXCom is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
