I've run it on Wine although not extensively because I prefer the GTK
version over the Windows version (irregardless of Wine) the GTK version
has just had more care and attention over the years as Linux is the
platform with the most active developers.
It seems to work fine but some of the rendering glitches in the
win32 version are magnified in Wine. If you can get either the Gnome or
the plain GTK version working it is a much better bet, if you are really
short of disk space you could always delete the clipart, the dictionary
hash file, the help files, or the language files you are not using.
