I've been running Trillian Pro quite successfully on wine-20030508 since, well, May 8th. I run with all Trillian windows in one container to keep the clutter down. A couple of things I noticed: o I get the lockups occasionally, but *only* during signon and *only* if the hotmail notification window pops up and I try to move it or close it while the buddy list is still updating. o I have terrible luck using any skins other than the default skin. Some cause Wine to die, some cause Trillian to freeze, and some cause other weird problems (menus stop working, etc.) o I can't select text at all to copy text out of trillian, although pasting stuff in works just fine. o Scrolling is often painfully slow, both in contact window and buddy lists. Clicking the up/down arrows only scrolls a few pixels it seems, and the page up/page down areas do nothing when you click in them. o Windows sometimes don't get focus until I minimize and expand them once or twice. Then they get focus and I can type in them. o Can't click on URLs and can't view history. This may just be config issues with my Wine installation though; I may need to setup the helper apps correctly somewhere. Overall though I'm very pleased with it. I'd rate it 4 out of 5 on usability. It saves me the trouble of having to keep rdesktop running into a WinXP machine all the time just to use Trillian. -- Joshua M.
