althought it definately has problems in this scenario
Please be SPECIFIC about the problems. A statement like this completely unusable.
There is no development being done at the time on a native Linux version. With the vast progress of Wine (and now it being ported also to Mac - and running great on FreeDSD and PC-BSD too) we are in doubt actually if it would not be better to work with Wine. We may consider to built and distribute our own 'yogwine' being built from only the Wine components that we need. Just like Google Picassa did.
